Martell is one of the oldest and most prestigious cognac houses in the world, founded in 1715 by Jean Martell in Cognac, France. The brand is known for its rich history and commitment to crafting high-quality cognac using specific grape varieties from the Borderies, Grande Champagne, and Petite Champagne areas. Martell's cognacs are celebrated for their complexity, depth, and smoothness, achieved through a meticulous distillation process and extended aging in fine-grained oak barrels.
Martell XO is celebrated for its harmonious combination of power and finesse, making it a standout cognac in any collection. Best enjoyed neat, on ice, or with a dash of water, it represents the pinnacle of Martell’s craftsmanship and tradition.
