Courvoisier XO Cognac (750Ml)

Description

Courvoisier XO is an Extra Old Cognac, a luxurious type of brandy from the Cognac region of France. The house traces its fame to 1811. That year, a visit from Napoleon led to Courvoisier becoming the official cognac of his Imperial Court. Emmanuel Courvoisier later founded the house in Jarnac in 1835.

The blend draws on very old eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne for grace. A smaller share from the Borderies adds structure and depth. The spirits are distilled in copper stills and aged in French oak barrels. The XO is bottled at 40% alcohol, or 80 proof.

On the nose, you’ll find rich fig, raisin, plum and candied orange. An autumn bouquet of iris flowers follows, with exotic vanilla behind it. The palate is rich and fruit-forward. It closes on crème brûlée, with a long and elegant floral finish.

Judges like it too. Its 2021 haul includes Platinum from the Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition. Gold medals from the Cognac Masters and the London Spirits Competition came the same year. It earned Gold at the Luxury Spirits Masters in 2019, 2022 and 2025. In 2023, the Beverage Testing Institute scored it 92 points, a Gold medal.

Enjoy it neat to catch every layer. The house suggests Roquefort alongside it, since the salty, tangy cheese stands up to the richness.
