Branson XO Grande Champagne Cognac Premier Cru ($250)

Created from eaux-de-vie grown in the Grande Champagne region of Cognac and is aged for a minimum of 10 years. This XO is deep brown in color with a slight bronze hue. Elegant and complex, this Cognac lands where it should – a comprehensive melding of Cognac’s four main characteristics: wood, spice, floral and citrus. At first the darker notes are evident on the palate; caramel, butterscotch, a slight nuttiness, vanilla, but the citrus and spice then appear, counterbalancing it with apricot, baking spice, wildflowers and a slight sweet resin. This offers a long, spicy and smooth finish.
