Sazerac White X Cognac by Quavo
Sazerac White X Cognac by Quavo is Sazerac's challenge to the cognac category — a "white" cognac created in partnership with Grammy-nominated rapper Quavo at Domaine Sazerac de Segonzac, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). Made from white grapes grown on the chalky Champagne crus of the Cognac region, it is double-distilled, aged the required minimum two years, and filtered to preserve a fresh, fruity character — a smoother, sweeter, more mixable take on cognac with a golden-straw color. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Cognac, Rewritten by Quavo
Quavo — one of hip-hop's most visible cognac enthusiasts — didn't want another VS in a fancy bottle. Sazerac built White X from the ground up: fruit from Cognac's chalkiest crus, a shorter aging arc than traditional houses, and filtration that keeps the spirit fresh and pale. The February 2024 BlockBar drop (100 bottles at $60 in a commemorative box) sold through immediately, and the June national rollout put it in Miami, Los Angeles, New York, and Dallas before the rest of the country.
Tasting Notes
Fresh and fruit-forward — white peach and stone fruit over creamy vanilla and dried rose petals, with a whisper of baking spice. Lighter and brighter than traditional cognac, with a smooth, sweet edge.
How to Enjoy
Built for mixing: try it in a cognac sidecar or over ice with ginger ale. It also drinks well neat for anyone who finds traditional cognac too oaky — this is the entry point.
