Rémy Martin XO
This opulent, radiant and refined Fine Champagne cognac is a blend of the Cellar Master’s 400 different eaux-de-vie. The perfect expression of opulence on the palate with mature flavors of juicy plums and candied oranges, with a hint of hazelnuts and cinnamon. A velvety, rich and lingering finish- pair with candied fruits and chocolate.
SRP $180Rémy Martin Tercet
An Inspiration from three Artisans, Tercet is the most recent Rémy Martin cognac to release and is a permanent extension to the House’s product line. Bottled at 42% alcohol/Volume it is the highest proof of all existing Rémy Martin blends. Extremely round, while tasting Tercet it coats the palate, punctuated with notes of exotic fruits and spices. The finish is with a touch of toasted almond, long and complex.  Tercet is best served in a white burgundy wine glass and pairs exquisitely with pineapple desserts.
