Cigar Club Cognac XO Jean Fillioux

Before we start I have to admit something to you: As a sworn non-smoker I actually wonder, whether I will be able to fully appreciate this cognac. However, I´ve decided to give XO Cognac Cigar Club a try, despite my "handicap". 

Cognac Cigar Club (Jean Fillioux) is produced from grapes grown exclusively in the area of Grande Champagne and it´s blend of the "spirits" with an average age of 30 years.

About the producer

An independent family-owned company, which manages 50 acres of vineyards in the heart of Grande Champagne. Family focuses on eaux de vie of the highest quality and  has been engaged in the production of cognac  for four generations. Current owner Pascal J. Fillioux claims, that every bottle released on the market under his name is also under his personal control - from the harvest to the bottling.

Tasting notes

Colour: dark amber with a big red shades
Smell: beautiful fruity aroma with notes of honey and vanilla
Taste: full, distinctly sweet, fruity spicy flavor
Finish: Beautifuly long  

Recommendation

As the name suggests, this Cognac would be probably really ideal to combine with a Cuban cigar. After all, it was created to do so! Will you taste itself, or in combination with dark chocolate.
