From the revered House of Hardy, this exceptional Fine Champagne cognac blends eaux-de-vie exclusively from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus. The spirits are aged 15-25 years in lightly toasted Limousin oak barrels, imparting deep character and complexity. At 40% ABV, it pours a rich amber-vermilion hue and opens with aromas of rose petals, ripe dates and subtle cigar-box notes.On the palate expect velvet-smooth texture with flavors of dried apricot, vanilla icing, gentle tobacco, ginger spice and toffee, culminating in a long finish of leather and warm oak. Presented in a sleek decanter-style bottle, Hardy XO Rare is perfect for the cognac connoisseur or as a distinguished gift. For best enjoyment serve neat in a tulip glass at room temperature to fully appreciate its layered complexity.
