Landy Cognac XO No. 1 40% vol. 0.7 l online kaufen

Landy Cognac XO No. 1 40% vol. 0.7 l is a premium French XO cognac that combines the time-honoured art of distillation from the Cognac region with an exceptionally long period of ageing in oak casks. Behind the Landy brand stands the renowned Cognac Ferrand house, which is known for its careful selection of high-quality eaux-de-vie and its many years of experience in the production of premium French spirits. For Landy XO No. 1, selected distillates from the three Cognac growing regions – Fins Bois, Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne – are blended together. The eaux-de-vie used have an average ageing period of around 20 years, with individual components being stored in oak casks for up to 25 years.

Landy XO Cognac is produced using traditional double distillation in small 25-hl copper stills, before the eaux-de-vie begin their long period of cask ageing. During the first year, 380-litre casks made from French Limousin oak are used; their high tannin content influences the development of the distillates. Subsequently, the cognac is aged further in older oak casks, which allow for a gentle maturation process. The careful blending of distillates of varying ages highlights the traditional savoir-faire of French cognac production. As an XO cognac (Extra Old), this bottling, with an average ageing period of around 20 years, significantly exceeds the prescribed minimum ageing period of ten years. Landy Cognac XO No. 1 is bottled at 40% vol. in the classic 0.7-litre bottle and contains added colouring.

Tasting Note

Colour: Deep mahogany with warm amber and copper highlights.

Nose: Expressive aromas of spicy leather, ripe plums and sweet dried fruit, accompanied by subtle tobacco, warm honey and an elegant hint of oak.

Palate: Powerful yet smooth, with candied fruit, creamy caramel and dark chocolate. Spicy leather and tobacco notes blend with matured oak and a harmonious sweetness.

Finish: Exceptionally long-lasting and pleasantly warming, with intense oaky spice, subtle tobacco, elegant leather notes and a delicate floral aftertaste.

Landy Cognac XO No. 1 reveals its multi-layered aromas particularly well when enjoyed neat at a serving temperature of around 18–20 °C, ideally in a tulip-shaped cognac glass. Allowing it to rest in the glass for a few minutes enables you to discover the complex facets of its long-term ageing in Limousin oak casks. Recommended culinary pairings include dark chocolate truffles, caramelised walnuts, mature Comté cheese or a delicate dessert featuring plums and honey. Crème brûlée, date cake or chocolate mousse also make delightful pairings. This long-aged French XO cognac is particularly well-suited as a digestif after a festive meal, offering moments of special indulgence.
