The Ultime release in the Courvoisier Artisan Edition is the oldest cognac in the 'Artisan' range produced by Courvoisier. It is made using both Grande Champagne and Borderies eaux-de-vie. The blend is aged in virgin limousin barrels and then transferred to mature casks. Finally, it is moved to ancient vats to create a smooth and intensely aromatic flavor. This results in a high-quality cognac that offers a balanced and satisfying drinking experience. The Courvoisier XO Cognac is complex, yet well-balanced. It has an intense aroma with notes of leather, dried fruits, and a hint of violet. The composition is rich and mature, with a long-lasting finish that is sweet and fruity, with hints of honey and dried fruit.
