Martell XO (750ml) Little Cellar 15 wonderfully layered redThe opening whiffs find scents of pears, grapes, and mature oily, buttery, aromas; in the second sniffing round the spirit is pleasantly prickly with loads of character. Palate entry is sweeter and fruitier than the Cordon Bleu; round, luxurious and slightly coffee like in its bittersweet approach at midpalate. Ends with an inoffensive little numbing sensation.
