XO Cognac

Cognac aged a minimum of 10 years (XO grade per BNIC 2018+ rules), typically a blend of older eaux-de-vie offering richer rancio, dried fruit, leather, and toasted oak vs. VS/VSOP. Used in premium Sidecars, Vieux Carrés, and sipping applications; substantially weightier and more complex than VS or VSOP.
