D'Usse XO Cognac

Ten Years Minimum, Selected by Hand
D'Usse was created at the Chateau de Cognac — a house with two centuries of production behind it — with cellar master Michel Casavecchia setting an uncompromising standard for the XO: nothing enters the blend under ten years old. The result is the house's flagship, built for depth rather than flash. Explore the house on the D'Usse vendor page, or browse our spirits collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: rich notes of ripe blackberry and apricot, layered with dark chocolate and walnut, culminating in an exceptionally balanced finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass, given a few minutes to open; an XO of this age rewards slow sipping over dilution. More fine brandy is in our spirits collection.
