Meukow Cognac XO is a distinguished expression with a rich heritage dating back to 1862, when Russian brothers Christophe and Gustave Meukow began supplying cognac to the Russian court. Today, Meukow stands as the fifth-largest cognac house in the world, symbolized by the iconic panther, representing quality, strength, elegance, and sensuality. Meukow XO is a masterful blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne, as well as Fins and Bons Bois, resulting in a cognac that balances the power of tannins from long oak aging with delicate and sweet notes.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is an XO cognac built on a blend of eaux-de-vie from four crus, Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Fins Bois and Bons Bois, and it shows that range in the glass. Expect figs and prunes on the nose, wrapped in vanilla, toasted oak and a whisper of cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with caramelized fruit, dark chocolate and roasted nuts, and oak tannins give it structure. The finish is long and smooth, trailing dried fruit and warm spice. Meukow, the house behind the panther emblem, traces its roots to 1862, when brothers Christophe and Gustave Meukow began supplying cognac to the Russian court. We carry it because it strikes a genuinely useful balance. It is deep enough for a seasoned cognac drinker to sip neat from a tulip glass, yet approachable for someone stepping up to their first XO. At 40% ABV and presented in a gift box, it is also an easy, confident choice when you need a bottle for someone who appreciates fine cognac.
Pairs well with
- Duck confit or foie gras — The cognac's caramelized fruit and oak tannins stand up to rich, savory dishes and cut through their depth.
- Dark chocolate or pecan pie — Notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts and vanilla on the palate echo these desserts beautifully.
- After-dinner celebration toast — The long, smooth finish of dried fruit and warm spice makes it an unhurried sipper for closing out a special evening.
