Park XO is composed of 100% Grande Champagne. This terroir yields elegant and distinguished eaux-de-vie which require a long aging process to fully express their aromatic richness. The aromas open progressively to allow scents of dried apricot, of hazelnuts and of gingerbread to appear.
With a name like "Cigar Blend" we're obviously going to recommend sipping this sensory sensation with a Honduran or Cuban cigar. However, if smoking isn't your thing, you can enjoy this Cognac on its own, neat in a traditional tulip glass.
The Cognac Park Cellar Master recommends smelling this with your eyes closed before taking your first sip, in order to fully focus on the aromatic expressions being released. Leaving the Cognac for a while and coming back to it should deliver a whole host of new aromas, further expanding your appreciation of this distinctive and unique blend.
The experts at the Maison Park also recommend pairing this with a gooey dark chocolate dessert with salted caramel, the velvety accents of the caramel and bitter dark chocolate soften the more powerful woody and spicy flavor profile of the Cigar Blend.
