El Septimo Cognac XO Extra Old – Rare Cask

El Septimo Cognac XO Extra Old Rare Cask is an extra old cognac from El Septimo's Rare Cask Collection — aged in former Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Bordeaux wine barrels, an approach exclusive to the house that adds dried fruit, spice, and subtle wine complexity from one of Bordeaux's most prestigious appellations to the cognac's vanilla and oak foundation.

El Septimo is a Swiss-based luxury spirits brand that approaches cognac as a collector's product — the Rare Cask Collection uses exceptional secondary maturation vessels unavailable from standard programs. Saint-Emilion Grand Cru produces Merlot-dominant wines with dark fruit, plum, and spice character; the residual wine in those casks transfers during secondary aging, harmonizing with the cognac's existing oak and vanilla. 40% ABV.
