From its gold embossed emblem to the 30-facet glass stopper, Courvoisier XO Royal promises luxury from the off – and it delivers.

A harmonious blend of Fins Bois de Jarnac and Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie matured in French oak casks, it glows deep amber in the glass and opens with a delicate bouquet of hedgerow blossom, followed by notes of sweet cinnamon, toasted hazelnuts and honey on the palate.

Rich and full-bodied, it pairs perfectly with earthier, umami flavours, including summer truffles and wild mushroom risotto.

Alternatively, we have our eyes on this new limited-edition Courvoisier VSOP bottle for summer, created in collaboration with British Nigerian artist, Yinka Ilori. Returning as Courvoisier’s “Ambassador of Joy” for the second year, the vivid colour palette will pep up any bar cart.

70cl, 40%
