The XO Pale & Dry cognac is distinguished for its purity and its aging exclusively in old barrels, which allows the spirit to mature while avoiding an excessive influence of the wood. Consequently, the cognac reveals an unusually pale color, hence the name "Pale & Dry."
On the nose, the Delamain XO Pale & Dry offers a rich and aromatic fragrance, characterized by notes of ripe fruit, white flowers, and delicate accents of vanilla and sweet spices. The olfactory complexity beautifully transfers to the palate, where the cognac demonstrates a balanced and harmonious structure, with flavors of candied fruit, acacia honey, and a subtle hint of toasted oak.
The finish is long and persistent, with an elegant aftertaste that invites a second sip. Delamain XO Pale & Dry is an ideal cognac to be enjoyed during special moments, neat or with an ice cube, to enhance all its aromatic nuances.
A superb expression of craftsmanship and a tribute to the richness of the grapes from the Grande Champagne, this cognac captivates both the casual drinker and the expert connoisseur with its refinement and complexity.
Delamain
Discover the spirits, production style and story of Delamain.
Distillation
Charente style: double distillation in a Charentais pot still (the Maison selects eaux-de-vie distilled according to this method from its suppliers).
Ageing
Long maturation in seasoned oak casks kept in the centuries-old cellars on the Charente; for some blends large foudres or demijohns (dame-jeannes) are used for further refinement. The Maison practices gradual ABV reduction before bottling and patient blending to showcase old eaux-de-vie.
