{"id":23635,"count":9,"description":"All XO (Extra Old) cognacs are special in their own way. As they are Extra Old, meaning the sherry blends that compose them are each at least ten years old, they are naturally refined and sophisticated.\r\n\r\nIcon-Icon\u2019s selection offers to discover the best XO Cognacs, renowned for being genuine elixirs, as they are all born from extraordinary expertises. Expertises that are transmitted from one master blender to another.\r\n\r\nHow does one recognise a great cognac? One of the determining factors that forges a cognac\u2019s sought after complexity is the ageing process in double distillating oak casks: it\u2019s every cognac\u2019s signature.\r\n\r\nAmong the houses that make the world\u2019s best cognacs, Icon-Icon has selected the most interesting XOs; spirits that have been assembled by legendary houses such as R\u00e9my Martin, Hennessy, Courvoisier and Camus.\r\n\r\nHennessy; the name itself is a reference in terms of cognacs. Imagined by Maurice Hennessy, its cognac is an aromatic symphony; composed from a hundred different sherries, and originally imagined exclusively for Maurice Hennessy\u2019s inner circle in 1870, Hennessy\u2019s XO has pioneered a new style of cognacs, full, rich and complex. Its secret is the ten year long ageing process of each and every sherry used in the final blend.\r\n\r\nFounded in 1863, Camus is renowned for the extreme aromatic richness of its cognacs, of which the Camus Borderies X.O is the iconic expression; a cognac that owes the exceptionality of its variety to the grapes that are used for its assembly. Raisins that are sourced in the smallest and rarest of AOC vintages, the Borderies.\r\n\r\nUpholding some of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Borderies\u2019 oldest sherries, Courvoisier\u2019s XO offers a honeyed floral bouquet, underlined by notes of violet. Its mouth is both velvety and silky. It\u2019s no surprise that it seduced Emperor Napol\u00e9on the 1st!\r\n\r\nR\u00e9my Martin\u2019s icon is exquisite; it\u2019s born from the assembly of 1200 different sherries, each one having been aged between 40 years and a century. Andr\u00e9 Giraud, the master cellar at R\u00e9my Martin, elaborated it as a homage to the three century long union between Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Its name? R\u00e9my Martin XO Excellence.\r\n\r\nEminently renowned, the Grande Champagne Cognac variety seals the complexity and superbness of Tesseron\u2019s Lot 53 X.O Perfection Cognac Grand Champagne.\r\n\r\nBut where is this \u201cLot\u201d mention coming from? It\u2019s directly linked to the rich history of the family vineyard established in 1850 which we owe this cognac to.\r\n\r\nSince 1905, the sherries produced on Tesseron\u2019s vineyards are no longer sold to other Cognac houses, rather they are assembled and bottled by their very producer itself. Hence the \u201cLot\u201d mention; it\u2019s a signature of the brand\u2019s expertise.
