Number of eaux-de-vie: 75

The XO Carafe blend is crafted when new eaux- de-vie are selected.
The eaux-de-vie first spend 10 to 14 months in new oak casks (heavy toast). Next come 9 years of maturing in red (aged) casks.

The step-by-step ageing process gradually brings the alcohol content from 55°, when the spirit first goes into barrels, down to 40°. There are four ageing steps, with a tasting session at each phase (55°, 47°, 43°, 40°).

The cellar-master’s notes
• Bouquet: hazelnut, prune, cinnamon, coffee, caramelised orange, coffee-roasting notes, marron glacé, grilled almonds, white truffle, black cherry, gingerbread, star anise, Sichuan pepper, ginger. • Palate: the powerful impression in the attack is extended with the same intensity throughout the tasting. Wonderfully elegant flavours.
• Finish: stunningly ample and long-lasting!
