Martell XO Extra Old Cognac

Martell Cognac

The Martell XO  Extra Old Cognac is a delightful offering from Martell, the oldest of the large Cognac houses.  It's truly complex, the flavors created from the blend of the premier cru, Grande Champagne, and the smoothness of the Borderies terroir.  A real masterpiece of blending - first the aromas tease your senses, and then the palate thrills with delicious texture, richn depth, yet manages to remain elegant throughout.

The presentation is also of great quality, coming in a decanter that wouldn't be out of place displayed within the finest of drink collections.  And the excellence of this Cognac has been well noted by experts within the industry.  It's recently been awarded the Gold Medal in the XO Ultra Premium Category at the 2017 Cognac Masters.

About Martell Cognac

Martell is the oldest of the big cognac houses. Similar to Rémy Martin, but a few years older still, Martell will soon celebrate its 300 year anniversary. The history of Martell & Co dates back to 1715, when Jean Martell founded the company with the wish to produce only the highest quality in cognac. With the legendary bottles Martell Cordon Bleu, Martell Extra L’Or de Jean Martell and the recent Création Grand Extra from 2007, the company strongly implanted itself in the luxury goods market. It belongs to Pernod Ricard and has sales of around 15 million liters every year. The most precious eaux-de-vie, some of which date back to 1830, are stored in a secret location in the cellars of Jean Martell - approximately 1,6 million 9 liter cases!

Rue 2012-12-25

My two friends and I drink the whole bottle of the martrll xo. it was really good coganc. Love the color and the spice, smoothness. We open the hennessy xo and compared both I found that the hennessy xo have a more kicks. I personally like the martell xo better than the hennessy xo, my friends has mix opinion. Maybe the martell was from 2008 and the hennessy xo from 2012. We have a great time in my back yard after the night's over only half of the hennessy xo left. :))Rue

      Fantastic cognac! Like all the Martell cognacs it has this Borderies punch in the end.. hmm.. Fine nose, Martell is just on a different planet with this blend. If you compare the martell XO with the XOs of Courvoisier, Hennessy or Remy Martin: Clear winner.
