Distiller Notes
St-Rémy XO illustrates the legacy of our previous Master Blender, Martine Pain. She created a complex and rich brandy, her interpretation of French aromatic intensity while remaining true to the style of the House.
St-Rémy XO is a brandy of character with complex aromas and a robust taste. It is recognized for its elegance, roundness and ability to linger on the palate. Offering multiple layers of flavors that make it remarkable to critics and connoisseurs alike, St-Rémy XO can be enjoyed neat, on ice or in classic cocktails.
Taking its name from the Dutch term, brandewijn, for burnt or cooked wine, in the broadest sense of the term, Brandy is any liquor made from the distillation of fruit wine. Though any kind of fruit may be used, wine grapes are the most common. Clear Brandy, commonly referred to as Eau de Vie, is unaged and bottled directly after distillation. Finer grape-based Brandies are often aged in oak barrels for anywhere from two years (VS) to six years (XO) or longer, gradually gaining color and complexity as they interact with the wood.
