Delamain passion for the most exceptional nectars cognac has to offer has been passed down through the generations since 1759, the year when James Delamain left his native Ireland and settled in Jarnac. In 1824, his grandson Henri Delamain founded Maison Delamain.
The House of Delamain is an X.O. cognac specialist and will settle for nothing less than pure perfection, producing elegant, aged cognacs and nothing but fine, aged cognacs.
Tasting a Delamain cognac is about enjoying a rare moment of grace, a paragon of elegance and an explosion of rich aromas, a volley of fireworks to enlighten the senses.
Aged on average for 25 years and first introduced almost a century ago, Pale & Dry X.O is composed exclusively of eaux-de-vie sourced from the Grande Champagne region, Cognac’s finest “terroir”.
Nose:
Long and intense. Enticingly perfumed and richly fragrant with fruity notes of apricot and citrus followed by vanilla “rancio”.
Pallet:
Light and delicate in the mouth, with the gentleness of slow ageing. Finish is full and soft, developing into fruit.
