Delamain Pale & Dry X.O. Grande Champagne Cognac; once again on recommendation from the good people at Vintages. According to the salesperson this gem is aged a lot longer than necessary to receive it's X.O status and offers great QPR. Pours a beautiful off orange honey color, fairly dense looking. The aroma holds a bouquet of vanilla, oak, candied citrus, golden raisins and toffee, a definite wax or lamp oil note in there as well. Rich in mouth feel, but surprisingly dry, the flavor profile is smooth and pretty, more vanilla, floral notes and a delicate acidity. A great after dinner drink, enjoy on its own.
