When it comes to cognac, only something truly exceptional earns the classification of XO, a spirit worthy of further aging and care. Courvoisier is proud to present one of the most beautiful cognacs in this class, their Initiale Extra. It brings you an unparalleled experience of unmitigated character. Dark, decadent, and lush, this spirit has won acclaim from renowned tasters the world over. It offers a mélange of unforgettable flavors beginning with old port wine. This comes from the unique vintages from which it’s crafted. Hard on the heels of the sweet, heady wine essence comes a loamy richness imbued by the particular region in which Courvoisier keeps its warehouses. The humid, richly scented air impacts the cognac over the course of its aging, imparting an unmistakable impression of sun-dappled oak forests and the deep, mellow earth in which priceless mushrooms may be found. Initiale Extra finishes with piquant notes of fruit and spices, which linger delectably upon the tongue, evoking hot fruitcake.
