Distiller Notes
Park XO is composed of 100% Grande Champagne. This terroir yields elegant and distinguished eaux-de-vie which require a long aging process to fully express their aromatic richness. The aromas open progressively to allow scents of dried apricot, of hazelnuts and of gingerbread to appear.
Proof: 80
Widely regarded as the finest and most complex grape-based spirit in the world, Cognac follows rigorously strict production guidelines. It is made exclusively of wine—most commonly from Ugni Blanc—from the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions surrounding the town of Cognac in southwestern France. After a second distillation in antique copper pot stills (called charentais), the spirit is transferred to French oak barrels and aged a minimum of two years (VS). Cognac is classified by both age and region (Cru). The Grande Champagne Cru and Petite Champagne Cru, both having shallow limestone soils, are the most respected.
