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.
Created in the 1950’s Vesper X.O reveals its quiet, almost reverential power more affirmatively that Pale & Dry. The word “Vesper” in Latin means both “evening” and “evening star” and it was named with the still deep power of early evening or “Vesper” prayers in mind.
Nose:
Scents of underwood, vine-shoot and vanilla “rancio”.
Pallet:
Mellow and round in its full, ripe and powerful maturity. Finish is satiny smooth and caressingly soft.
