About this cognac

Kelt Tour de Monde - XO - Cognac

Kelt Tour de Monde XO is a Cognac from the Cognac appellation in western France, bottled at XO grade, the category reserved for the oldest and most developed blends. It is a brandy of structure and depth, made for slow sipping rather than mixing by default.

Expect the dried fruit, warm spice and nutty notes that characterise an XO Cognac. The palate is typically rounded and smooth, while the finish runs long and warming.

Cognac is a brandy distilled from white wine. XO status marks the oldest and most developed blends in the appellation, which is where the depth and the layers of dried fruit and spice come from.

Serve it neat in a tulip glass at cool room temperature, after dinner or with coffee. A little ice suits warmer evenings. Kelt's signature serve is The World Traveler. Dark chocolate and roasted nuts are natural companions.
