A Rare Fusion of French Cognac and Japanese Oak Elegance – The Diamond XO Mizunara Cask Finish Fine Champagne Cognac
The Diamond XO Mizunara Cask Finish Fine Champagne Cognac is a striking expression that marries the historic refinement of Fine Champagne Cognac with the rare, aromatic influence of Japanese mizunara oak. Beginning with a beautifully aged Fine Champagne base, this XO is finished in mizunara casks that impart a unique layer of exotic spice and delicate wood character, elevating the classic cognac profile to new sensory heights.
Tasting Experience
Appearance: Deep amber with luminous golden reflections.
Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet opens with dried figs, candied orange zest, and steamed orchard fruits, followed by layers of toffee, honeyed spice, and gentle florals. The mizunara finish introduces subtle sandalwood, incense, and sweet oriental spice that add compelling nuance.
Palate: Silky and layered with flavors of caramel, roasted almond, warm vanilla, and baking spices, enhanced by the exotic complexity of mizunara‑driven notes—delicate coconut, clove, and soft sandalwood harmonize with the rich fruit core.
Finish: Long, warm, and impeccably balanced, with lingering oak warmth, gentle spice, and traces of sweet nutmeg and citrus interlaced with mizunara nuance.
Craftsmanship
This Fine Champagne Cognac begins with eaux‑de‑vie sourced exclusively from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, recognized for chalk‑rich soils that yield superb aging potential and aromatic depth. Following extended maturation, the blend is finished in rare Japanese mizunara oak casks, prized for their porous wood character and distinctive influence on spirit complexity. The mizunara finishing imparts nuanced spice and aromatic layers without overwhelming the elegant foundation of the XO blend, resulting in a refined and multi‑faceted cognac.
Best Enjoyed
