KELT OGNAC FRANCE, COGNAC GRANDE CHAMPAGNE Kelt Cognacs are made exclusively with grapes from an exceptional growing area considered to produce the finest cognacs in the world. Le Tour du Monde. Ocean Matured. Until the early 1900s all cognac was shipped in barrels. The long sea-voyages had a profound effect on the quality of cognac. When cognac started to be shipped in bottles the magical effect was lost. Until now. Our cognac, still in Limousin oak barrels, undertakes a 3-month sea voyage around the world. The combination of movement, temperature variations, air pressure changes and the magic of the seas during this 90-day trip, creates a seamless perfection in the blend as well as an unrivalled smoothness, characteristic of KELT.

What do they mean? In a word: Aging. V.S. (Very Special): AKA “three stars,” The youngest eau-de-vie in the blend must be a minimum 2 years old. V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale): The youngest eau-de-vie in the blend is at least 4 years old. Napoleon: A favorite of Napoleon, otherwise it just designated a blend that’s at least 6 years old. X.O. (Extra Old): The “extra” here used to mean at least 6 years old, though since April 2018 the new minimum is 10 years old. Hors d’Age (“Of the Ages”): Literally… “it is so old, it’d be impolite to ask.” It’s used to communicate a very high quality product. Vintage: A vintage brandy means that the brandy is a single blend from a single year’s harvest. There is no age limitation. — VINEPAIR.COM VS XO the Brandy Alphabet
