St-Rémy XO is a French Brandy, explicitly not labelled as Cognac, from the St-Rémy house. It’s built from a selection of French eaux-de-vie chosen for their ageing potential, given a longer maturation in small French oak casks than the rest of the St-Rémy range. It suits someone who wants brandy’s warmth and spice at a lower price than Cognac, whether neat or in a brandy cocktail.
CHARACTER
Vanilla: Delicate, part of the mature nose
Honey: Layered with ripe fruit on the nose
Apricot: Candied apricot on the palate
Dried Fruit: Dates and figs alongside the apricot
Orange Peel: Candied citrus peel through the finish
Caramel: Deepens into the finish
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- A mature nose of oak and delicate vanilla, layered with ripe fruit and honey.
PALATE- Wood and vanilla notes are enriched with gingerbread spice, candied apricots, dates and figs.
FINISH- Long and complex, moving from ripe stone fruit and candied citrus peel into caramel and praline.
