ABK6 XO Family Cellar Single Estate Cognac + Gift Box

ABK6 Cognac is a modern, family-owned house with deep roots in the Grande Champagne region, the Premier Cru of Cognac. Founded by the Abécassis family, the estate is led by Elisabeth and Francis Abécassis, who are committed to a single-estate philosophy, cultivating, distilling, and ageing all their eaux-de-vie from their own vineyards. This complete control from vine to bottle allows ABK6 to craft Cognacs of exceptional purity, character, and finesse, blending traditional savoir-faire with a sleek, modern aesthetic that appeals to a new generation of spirits enthusiasts.

The ABK6 XO Family Cellar is the pinnacle of the estate’s collection, an extra-old Cognac blended exclusively from eaux-de-vie aged for a minimum of 10 years in French oak, and sourced entirely from the family’s private cellar. It is a bold yet elegant expression that embodies the richness and finesse of Grande Champagne’s chalky soils, renowned for producing long-lived, aromatic eaux-de-vie.

In the glass, this XO presents a deep amber hue with golden reflections, signalling maturity and complexity. The nose is opulent and inviting, offering layers of candied orange peel, dried fig, spiced plum, and toasted almond, lifted by notes of vanilla bean, leather, nutmeg, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, it is silky and full-bodied, delivering a harmonious interplay of raisin, dark chocolate, baking spice, and honeyed oak, all wrapped in a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long, warm, and luxuriously smooth, with echoes of rancio, the signature of well-aged Cognac, and a final flourish of dried fruit and sweet spice.
