Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Cognac built for slow, attentive sipping. Naud's XO (Extra Old) pours amber with mahogany glints and opens on candied orange, prune and a spice blend that runs from cinnamon to an unexpected touch of cumin, with leather underneath. The palate is broad and layered, carrying Seville orange and tobacco for a long stretch before finishing with a hint of rancio, the savory note associated with well-aged Cognac. That pairing of bright citrus with darker, leathery depth is what sets it apart for us. It is rich without being heavy-handed, and it keeps shifting in the glass. It suits the collector looking for an XO with real character from a family producer. It is equally rewarding for someone stepping up to their first serious Cognac who wants to taste what time brings to the spirit. We carry it because it belongs in a tulip glass rather than a cocktail shaker, and it rewards every minute you give it.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The bittersweet cocoa echoes the Cognac's candied orange and complements its rich, spiced profile.
- A board of aged cheeses — Nutty, savory aged cheeses meet the rancio on the finish and balance the dried fruit sweetness.
- Quiet after-dinner conversation — Its slowly unfolding layers of Seville orange, leather and tobacco reward the unhurried pace of the end of an evening.
