Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is an XO Cognac that takes a familiar shape and gives it an unexpected accent: the influence of Japanese Mizunara oak. Master Blender Jeffrey Karlovitch, who has spent over two decades getting to know Mizunara, builds on classic grape-based Cognac character with dried apricot and fig, honey and vanilla. He then lets the oak add sandalwood, a gentle spiciness and a delicate floral lift. The palate is velvety, moving through caramelized oak, toffee and a touch of dark chocolate before a finish that lingers with exotic spice. It suits the drinker who already knows what an XO tastes like and wants to hear it in a different key. It also makes a thoughtful pour for anyone who has met Mizunara in whisky and is curious to taste it alongside Cognac. This is a sipping Cognac, plain and simple, and mixing would bury its subtleties. We carry it because it is a genuinely distinctive take on the category, one that respects tradition while showing what an unusual oak can bring to the glass.

Pairs well with

Dark chocolate — The Cognac's own touch of dark chocolate and toffee on the palate makes a rich square of dark chocolate a natural match.
Fine cheese selection — A board of cheeses with varying textures gives the velvety body and dried apricot and fig notes something savory to play against.
Quiet after-dinner contemplation — A slow, unhurried pour lets the sandalwood, floral notes and lingering exotic spice unfold gradually in the glass.
