Antonio
Antonio,
Really good
 
Robert
Robert,
Amazing start to finish. Strong grape, fruit and leather scents and mouth. Incredible finish. Great all around.
 
David
David,
Ok. Didn’t seem to have the flavors I expected
 
Nicole
Nicole,
Fantastically smooth, with a subtle sweetness! Tried it in a tasting box and loved it so much we purchased the bottle!
 
Jason
Jason,
Complex flavors, less sweet than I like
 
Bill
Bill,
Curious. It says XO on the bottle but 6 yr in the description. Is this Napolean age or XO?
 
Craig
Craig,
Not a cognac drinker, but wanted to give it a try so got the "Le Cognac" tasting box. I found this one very spicy up front, but my wife REALLY liked this one. It was very smooth and had excellent flavor...very nice sipper.
 
Steve
Steve,
its ok for me a little harsh at the end

average. not worth the money
 
Toshinao
Toshinao,
Very nice. Not sure it’ll have a spot in my bar for its price - and what I get for it - but it’s still very tasty and almost instantly fills the room with its aroma.
 
Bruce
Bruce,
I get vanilla and honey, tobacco and oak for sure. But leather? Who wants to taste that? Although la creme de la creme, this might be too dank for me. Wouldn’t turn it down tho!
 
Ingus
Ingus,
Veeeery smooth. Loved it!
 
Eduard
Eduard,
To sweet for me.

Brent
Brent,
I'm a scotch drinker and thought, what the hell, let's try something new. Really liked this Cognac. Smooth and flavorful. I won't pretend to know all the tasting notes to look for as Cognac is new to me, but I quite enjoyed this one.
 
Troy
Troy,
It is good, don't get me wrong, but I don't particularly care for it. There isn't anything that stands out that makes me want to tell others about it. It is solid but not something I would come back for again.
 
Kevin
Kevin,
New to cognac but thought it was very smooth and good
 
Ron
Ron,
Complex, well balanced and smooth. It was hard for me to pick out many specific flavors since it was so well balanced but leather came through. I'm considering adding a bottle to my home bar but will want to try out others at this price point first.

Strong with a real pleasant taste.
 
Lawrence
Lawrence,
It was the best of the 3. It was very smooth and mellow tasting straight out the bottle. You could smell and taste everything that makes it great.
 
ISABEL
ISABEL,
Leathery taste, but in a good way.
 
Michael
Michael,
My first time with Cognac. You have my attention.
 
Elisabeh
Elisabeh,
Defntely the best of the trio nuttery smooth hints of vanilla but does not finish sweet- highly recommend
 
Andrej
Andrej,
Perhaps even too rich for my taste. Really needs a right moment to enjoy.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
This has a very smooth start you can taste the honey at the start but the leather notes balance that out so it’s not to sweet. After that it has a enjoyable finish.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Very smooth coming in with a near salt water taste with definite leather and honey following.
 
John
John,
This was the best in the trio. Nice compliment of flavors. Goes great with a Cigar.
 
Nicki
Nicki,
Enjoyed this very much! Smooth, sweet, easy to sip. Definitely going to get this for my home bar.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Have had only a couple cognacs to compare against, but this one was great.
 
Scott
Scott,
Excellent. Smooth. If I ever get this again I’ll accompany it with a nice cigar. (Got this as part of a sampler).
 
Michael
Michael,
Absolutely delicious.
 
Peyton
Peyton,
Vanilla, Leather on front, with Fruit on the body and end
 
Charles
Charles,
Very light. It has a slight sweetness with a hint of leather. Doesn’t not linger but for an instant.
 
Lorenzo
Lorenzo,
If you like oak with subtle hints if sweetness this is your dram. This is a good XO, bit high on price but one heck of Cognac!
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, intense, XO Cognac with a long & complex finish.
 
Randy
Randy,
Magnificent
 
Thomas
Thomas,
I tried this as part of Le Cognac. It came alongside a VS and a VSOP. I thought the VSOP was way better and the VS about as good.
 
Sean
Sean,
Great. Didn’t realize I’d like Cognac
 
Bill
Bill,
Very smooth and sweet. Not sure I would pay that much for it but it was a great dram
 
Chris
Chris,
No way it's worth anywhere close to that price
 
Greg
Greg,
The aroma was sharp, and not as complex as I'd hoped. Similar to a lacquer, but sweet. The favor was deeper, with obvious leather and honey overtones. The glass finishes with butter and tobacco. It was pleasant and smooth.
 
Gunnar
Gunnar,
Splendid! Almost whisky like depth, very round.
