Hardy XO Rare Cognac 750ml

Hardy XO is an extra old cognac from the Hardy house, a smaller, family-run cognac producer with a history dating to the mid-19th century. As an XO, it's aged a minimum of 10 years, with Hardy's blends typically drawing on eaux-de-vie considerably older than the legal minimum. Expect a rich, structured profile with dried fruit, toasted oak, dark chocolate and warm spice, similar in weight to XO releases from the larger, better-known cognac houses. It's aimed at cognac drinkers looking for a smaller-house alternative to the major brands.

How to drink Hardy XO

Pour it neat in a tulip glass and give it time to open — an XO cognac like this rewards a slower, more attentive tasting.
