Hardy XO Cognac (1000ml)

Part of the 'Tradition' range, Hardy's XO blend not only comes in a one litre bottle, but also with a very accessible price tag. Produced from a Cognac house dating back to 1863, distilled from Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard and aged in Limousin oak for 10 - 20 years, the eaux-de-vie here expresses the full finesse and elegance of their native terroirs, Grande and Petite Champagne. 40% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producer... Aromas of rose petals and vanilla; fat and creamy with dates; leather; tobacco; butter-scotch; and tons of vanilla in the mouth. Elegant and lush. Long persistent finish.

Maison Hardy owes its name to an authentic English gentleman, Anthony Hardy. Like any conscientious wine and spirit merchant, Hardy liked to get out of London as often as he could and head down to Charente to check on the progress of the finest Cognac crus. He finally succumbed to the region’s charms in 1863, relocating permanently and founding Maison Hardy. As a mark of his great affection for France and the French, he went so far as to adopt the Gallic form of his Christian name, henceforth being known as Antoine Hardy. He also adopted the iconic French cockerel as the emblem of his new company.
