Cyrano Launches New XO (eXtra Old) Armagnac for mixing
Cyrano XO is the fourth product in the award-winning Armagnac range, offering the perfect blend to give classic cocktails an original signature from France.
Los Angeles, USA, 6 October 2017- Cyrano, the Armagnac for bartenders and sommeliers, today unveiled its latest innovation. Inspired by prohibition cocktails, Cyrano introduces an XO blend made up of Armagnacs that have been aged for at least 8 years. XO is perfect for mixing and it will delight those that are looking for a rich and smooth spirit.
XO is made in small batches, patiently aged in the deepest charred barrels and bottled at 84 proof to maintain Cyrano's approach to big flavor. It's a rather woody blend, with spicy aromas, complex but remains round. This rich Armagnac brings oak and leather together with slightly sweet notes of flower and fruit.
Using his 30 years of experience, Eric, Cyrano's Master Blender meticulously sourced and selected stocks of the very finest Armagnacs. The high proportion of first-fill barrels gives notes of vanilla and a remarkable depth for such a versatile mixing Armagnac.
The first batch of XO will be available in California from January 2018.
