Delamain Vesper XO 750 ml

Delamain Vesper is a Cognac from Delamain, a small Jarnac house that, unlike most major Cognac producers, sources eaux-de-vie exclusively from Grande Champagne, the region's top-rated growing zone, and ages everything to XO level and beyond as standard practice. Delamain doesn't distill its own spirit; it buys young eaux-de-vie and ages them itself, blending across vintages for a house style built on elegance and length rather than power. Expect a nose of dried flowers and orchard fruit, a refined palate of honey and light oak, and a long, delicate finish without the heavy caramel notes some Cognac houses lean on.

How to drink Delamain Vesper

Neat in a tulip glass, well above room temperature effects — Delamain's whole reputation rests on subtlety that ice or mixing would erase.
