El Septimo XO Vintage 2009 Borderies Cognac 700mL

El Septimo XO Vintage 2009 Borderies Cognac is a single-cask release from Comandon Cognac, a house established in 1821, selected as part of the Magnificent 7 collection. Drawn from cask No. 25 and sourced from Borderies, the smallest cru in the Cognac region, this 2009 vintage-dated expression represents a single year and a single barrel rather than a blended house style. Each bottle is individually numbered, reflecting the limited quantity released.

The cognac shows a golden amber color in the glass, opening on a nose of wildflower blossoms layered with pear, lime, and ginger. On the palate, light oak and toasted bread sit beneath cream custard, coffee, and vanilla, giving way to a finish of citrus fruit and orange marmalade spice that turns soft and sweet, reminiscent of cookie dough.

As a single-cask, individually numbered release from a small-cru vintage, this bottle appeals to collectors building out a Cognac shelf alongside other limited and vintage-dated expressions available at Liquor Geeks. It also makes a distinctive gift for anyone who already appreciates aged spirits and wants something beyond a standard blend. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
