The XO (eXtra Old) is a blend of Armagnacs which have been aged in Limousin and Gascon black oak for a minimum of 12 years up to 25 years. The spirits used in the XO blend are chosen for their specific superior quality as they represent the best "eau de vie" coming mainly from the area of Bas Armagnac as well as from the Tenarèze. The white grape varieties Baco and Ugni Blanc are distilled using the Single Distillation process and to a smaller extent, the Double Distillation process.
Janneau XO Cognac is a rich and fruity spirit that is presented in a stylish Basquaise bottle. Aromas of sweet figs, prunes, dates and honey fill the nose, complemented by notes of overripe fruit, aromatic florals, peppery oak and dried apricots throughout the palate.
