The Gautier XO Pinar del Rio Exclusive Cigar Blend is a high-quality Cognac XO that has been specially developed for pairing with the finest cigars. Named after the Cuban tobacco region of Pinar del Río, this exclusive bottling stands for a balanced combination of mature cognac character and balanced roasted flavours that are perfectly matched to the interplay with fine tobacco. With an alcohol content of 41.2% vol. and presented in an elegantly designed gift box, this Cognac is aimed at discerning connoisseurs with a penchant for fine compositions.

The traditional Maison Gautier, founded in 1755, is one of the oldest cognac houses in France. Only specially matured eaux-de-vie from the best crus - primarily from Grander Champagne and Fins Bois - were used for this XO edition. The long maturation period in oak barrels ensures a complex structure, round tannins and an aromatic depth that makes this cognac ideal for pairing with cigars.

The Gautier XO Cigar Blend combines powerful elegance with a smooth mouthfeel and impresses with its balance of fruitiness, spice and wood flavours. A stylish and characterful bottling for special moments of pleasure.
