Bossard Imperial XO Cognac achieves a harmonious balance after 30 years of aging in oak barrels. The power and finesse of the cognac blend perfectly, while the woodiness becomes more subtle. The color of the cognac is darker with hints of gold, which is characteristic of cognacs aged for a long time. The aroma is a delicate blend of fruity and aging scents, while the taste is dominated by dry fruits like hazelnut and walnut, as well as floral notes of jasmine and iris. The finish is smooth and balanced, a result of many decades of aging in oak barrels.
