XO 15 Year Old Cognac, Frapin, 70cl (Gift Box)
Cognac, France
The Cellar Duet
Deeply layered and quietly powerful, Frapin’s 15 Year Old opens with dried fruit, fragrant tea and seasoned oak, followed by vanilla and dried flowers. Toasted bread adds a savoury dimension beneath the fruit, while a subtle freshness keeps the bouquet lively. It is a Cognac that invites exploration, revealing the interplay of wood, fruit and floral detail as it rests in the glass.
The palate is generous and richly textured, with the concentration of cask-strength bottling giving the flavours definition and reach. Dried fruit and oak lead into a sustained, spicy finish, supported by a supple mouthfeel that carries the alcohol comfortably. Mature and ready to savour, it makes a rewarding choice for those who enjoy depth and complexity in their spirits. The gift-box presentation gives this distinctive XO an occasion to match its character.
For when: A milestone deserves something with fifteen years of stories to tell.
Pairs with: Walnut tart, baked apples with golden raisins, dark chocolate pralines, fig and almond cake, aged Comté or toasted brioche with caramelised pears.
This 15-year-old brings together eaux-de-vie matured in Frapin’s humid and dry cellars. Each environment contributes something different: the humid cellars develop softness and breadth, while the dry cellars bring finesse. Blending the two creates a particularly complete picture of the estate’s approach to ageing.
