Made at NAUD\'s famous \'hidden distillery\' which is on an island in the middle of a wood in the Cognac region of France. NAUD are a family firm who are now run by Jean-Michel and Pierre Naud. This medal-winning XO is made using some of the rarest and oldest spirits from the family\'s extensive stock: NAUD boasts 10 cellars and over 5,500 Limousin oak barrels. That\'s a whole lotta Cognac! But that\'s not all, as well as Cognac, they also produce an amazing variety of other spirits including gin, a wheat vodka, rum and a spiced rum. ###Product DescriptionGuarded behind thick walls, below roof tiles blackened by the Angel’s Share, the « Paradis » shelters the oldest qualities of the family’s reserve. The mysterious alchemy between the alcohol, the air and the wood, happens during a long aging process in French oak casks, carefully selected for the finesse of their tannins.Tasting NotesA deep amber coloured spirit, it\'s really showing some beautiful mature notes of dried orange and apricot, dates, cinnamon and leather. This would be a cigar smoker\'s dream Cognac.
