Delamain Pale Dry XO Cognac 42% 700ml
Good Medal - International Wine & Spirits Competition 2025
Delamain Pale & Dry XO is a flagship Cognac crafted exclusively from eaux‑de‑vie from the Grande Champagne cru — widely regarded as the top terroir of Cognac. It was first created in 1920, and its name refers to its naturally pale colour and dry flavour profile. Maison Delamain produces no VS or VSOP; its range begins at XO, with this expression aged for around 20–25 years in old Limousin oak casks. No sugar or colouring is added, allowing the spirit’s natural elegance — and fruit character — to shine through.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas: Intense with richly fragrant with fruity notes of ripe apricot and citurs followed by vanilla "rancio". Accompanied with further tantalizing intensity.
Bouquet: Light and delicate developing into fruit with a delectable, power dry finish.
Style: Intensity and length and perfectly balanced.
Abv: 42%
