Richard Delisle XO Dragon Cognac

Majestic, Symbolic, Exceptionally Rare An extraordinary encounter between artisanal excellence and legendary symbolism.

The Richard Delisle XO Dragon is more than just a cognac; it is a centerpiece of art and heritage. Created to celebrate strength, good fortune, and the spirit of the dragon, this limited edition houses the same multi-award-winning Grande Champagne XO liquid that has made the House famous. It is designed for those who seek a spirit that is as visually commanding as it is aromatically profound.

The Prestige of the Decanter

At Cognac Select, we highlight this edition as the ultimate collector’s item. The bottle is a work of art, featuring an intricately detailed dragon that wraps around the glass, symbolizing the protection of the precious liquid within. Inside, the cognac is a pure Grande Champagne blend, aged for decades in the family’s private cellars to achieve a level of complexity and "rancio" that matches the grandeur of its presentation.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A deep, luminous mahogany with brilliant amber and ruby glints.

Nose: Powerful and evocative. It opens with an opulent bouquet of dried fruits, figs, and honey, followed by the noble scents of old leather, cigar box, and sandalwood. A subtle hint of spicy cinnamon and cocoa powder adds to its alluring depth.

Palate: The attack is rich and incredibly velvety. On the palate, it reveals layers of candied orange, roasted hazelnuts, and dark chocolate. The structural power of the Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie is perfectly balanced by the softness of long oak maturation, offering a dense and harmonious mouthfeel.

Finish: Exceedingly long and resonant. It leaves a persistent trail of sweet spices, noble wood, and the characteristic savory notes of an aged "rancio."
