Naud XO Fine Cognac 750mL

Naud XO Fine Cognac

Extra Old (X.O) Cognac | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | Cognac, France

Process & Profile

Naud XO Fine Cognac is an Extra Old (X.O) French cognac from the Naud family distillery, a historic house crafting cognacs in the Cognac region. It is created by blending well-matured eaux-de-vie sourced from some of the region’s renowned crus (such as Grande Champagne and Fins Bois) and aged in French oak casks until reaching the depth, richness, and complexity expected of an X.O expression. The extended aging and blending process develops a layered profile of fruit, spice, and oak character.
