Rémy Martin X Anish Kapoor XO Cognac Limited Edition is candied orange, jasmine and fig on the nose with ripe plum, warm spices, hazelnuts, roasted cocoa and honeyed gingerbread. Deep mahogany, full-bodied, silky-smooth — a rare collector’s cognac.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
This extraordinary Limited Edition XO Cognac presents a deep, fiery mahogany hue accented with opal highlights of remarkable luminosity and depth — a colour that Anish Kapoor himself described as compelling, radiating from the iconic Rémy Martin XO decanter’s solar shape with a dazzling iridescence that changes with the light. The concave limited edition decanter, featuring a new copper bottle neck and stopper, is as much a work of art as the exceptional cognac it contains.
Aroma
The bouquet is a refined and immediately captivating blend of candied orange, jasmine and fig, delivering a silky-smooth aromatic experience that awakens the senses with vibrant floral and fruity notes of genuine elegance and distinction. The nose reflects the extraordinary complexity of Rémy Martin XO Fine Champagne eaux-de-vie — a rich, layered and deeply expressive aromatic profile that speaks eloquently of the House of Rémy Martin’s centuries of cognac-making mastery.
Palate
The palate unfolds luxuriously, transitioning from ripe plum and candied orange to warm spices and hazelnuts with exceptional grace and balance. Rich flavours of roasted cocoa beans and honeyed gingerbread culminate in a finish that is full-bodied, exceptionally smooth and enduringly long — a XO Cognac of outstanding complexity, refinement and collector’s distinction that is as compelling to drink as the decanter is to behold.
Pairs With
This exceptional Limited Edition XO Cognac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut desserts, honeyed gingerbread, candied orange peel, aged Comté, or enjoyed neat in a tulip glass as a contemplative digestif, making it the ultimate gift for cognac connoisseurs, art lovers and collectors of rare and exceptional spirits.
