Cognac and cigars have always been enjoyed together. In fact, many cognacs are described as having a cigar box or tobacco aromatic note. Thus, Maison Tessendier set out to make a Cognac that was unabashedly cigar-friendly, which means it’s a Cognac of high intensity, with a big, fruity character. Much of that comes from aging; to create Park XO Cigar Blend, Distillerie Tessendier blends Cognacs from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne that are rested in French oak barrels with a medium toast, for a minimum of 30 years, predominantly in humid cellars. Aroma & Tasting Notes: Round and long with hints of mango, cacao, saffron, clove, and cigarbox. Complex finish with rich gingerbread, and cedarwood lingerson the palate.
