If you can sip and go in minutes... skip this one... and you're making mistake!! This Camus XO needs time, a lot I mean, to get it expresses in glass.. At first, its smell contains aromas of orange peel, orange zest, and distinctive smoke. Even the alcohol itself still not harsh, it's all gentle. After waiting for a long time... it shows aromas of vanilla, honey, caramel, floral, spice and interesting aroma of herbs.. with continuously smoke aroma. When sip it, it's a beautiful thing in mouth... with great body and very mellow... Very luscious with independent character.. very complex by all mean. Aftertaste is very long, with notes of smoke and herb more than vanilla and caramel in background. If loving complexness, like drinking good wine, and able to wait long, this is the one for you!!

About this bottle
The House of CAMUS has launched a new XO blend for this Prestige Decanter release. It was crafted using the brand's "Instensity" distillation method and uses unfiltered wines (on the lees) from various crus including the Borderies. It's aged for a minimum of ten years in toasted fine grain small oak barrels with a portion of the blend finishing in re-toasted barrels. The decanter is intended to be re-used — honoring the tradition of "Arts de la Table" — as the brand's discreet side label is easily removed. Available beginning June 2023. (SRP $349)
