This is the bottle you pour when the night earns it. One sip of Rémy Martin XO and you get why people slow down: it's thick, velvety and warm, ripe plum and candied orange melting into roasted cocoa and a finish that just keeps going. Pour a measure neat after a long day, or set it on the table after a big nyama choma session and watch everyone suddenly become a Cognac person. A full litre, so the good times don't run dry.
Deep amber in the glass, and the nose hits soft and generous: white flowers, candied orange, ripe plum and a little honey. The sip is where it shows off. Rich and silky, rolling through dried fig, candied fruit and toasted hazelnut, with a quiet warmth of nutmeg and oak underneath. Then the finish, long and gourmet, like roasted cocoa and honeyed gingerbread that hangs around well after you've put the glass down. Nothing harsh, nothing rushed. Just deep and luxurious.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Rémy Martin is a Cognac house from the town of Cognac in France, and they're a bit obsessive: they bottle only Fine Champagne Cognac, meaning the grapes come solely from the two best chalky crus, Grande and Petite Champagne (around 85% Grande, 15% Petite). The XO is the Cellar Master's showpiece, a blend of up to 400 eaux-de-vie, each aged a minimum of ten years and some far older, married together to taste seamless. That's why it comes in their famous round, grooved decanter bottle. Serious craft, dressed up to look easy.
