Tasting review
Tasting review:
Eye: Mahogany with flashes of red gold
Nose: Delcious floral notes, hints of orange blossom, sweet caramel, toffee, and butter
Palate: Silky soft, sweet oak, and tones of sweet citrus fruits. A wonderful long finish that ends in a floral crescendo. Pairs well with a cigar
Description
If you're looking for a truly rounded XO quality Cognac, then look no further than the Godet XO Excellence. This award winning blend provides the taster with a delightful taste and aromatic explosion, yet somehow manages to combine this in a way that can only be described as 'siky soft'. There are plenty of floral notes to be enjoyed. Yet other, more rarely found, flavors also come to the fore. Think grilled nuts, toffee, and ripe citrus peel riding a wave as they take you on a delicious sensory journey.
This is a Cognac that can definitely be said is extremely elegant–and that's from every angle. The bottle it's presented in is slim and stylish, and everything about the Cognac oozes class. The family Godet pride themselves in producing Cognacs that are a little bit out of the ordinary. So if you're looking for something very special, and at a price that won't break the bank, then this XO really is an outstanding choice.

About Godet Cognac
The house of Godet has been run by the family for 14 generations. It is a perfect example of a cognac house that deeply believes in the tradition of this spirit and its origins. At the same time, Godet manages to move with modern times, having recently created a cognac from a grape that is almost extinct in the cognac industry: Folle Blache. This cognac is called "Antarctica Godet" and was inspired by a 2-month sailing trip to the South Pole.

Personal tasting review yet to come. However, the producer writes the following about Larsen XO Cognac: Round and mellow, with a remarkable spicy and fruitcake aroma with touches of lime tree and ripe fruits. Intense finish and moderate tannin.
Eye: Rich mahogany/topaz.
Nose: Heady and aromatic, the smell of toasted wood aged over decades comes to the fore. The instant aromas of dried fruits such as plum and fig give way to tobacco notes. It is generous and full-bodied.
