Mestreau XO No.8 Borderies Cognac (70CL)
A blend of exceptional eaux-de-vie from the Borderies region of cognac, Mestreau XO No.8 has been created by Guilhem Grosperrin to replicate the early 19th century cognacs produced by Frédéric Mestreau. Originally founded in 1808, their cognacs were famous around the world until 1919 when economic pressures forced their closure. Guilhem has the opportunity to purchase a collection of 19th century spirits produced by Mestreau, from which he built up a profile of the company's house style and has managed to recreate it with a range of modern eaux-de-vie. The XO No.8 cognac is very typically Borderies in character, with pronounced floral notes combined with dried fruits, apricot, necatrines, almonds and oak spice, with an almost salty brightness. Rich, balanced and elegant on the palate, it has a lovely cool fruit profile, with touches of toffee and tarte tatin, finishing with more floral notes, oak spice and a touch of rancio.
