Mathilde Orange & Cognac Liqueur Grand Mathilde XO 80 Proof 750ml

Grand Mathilde XO · Orange & Cognac Liqueur · France

Grand Mathilde XO brings intense orange aromatics together with the richness of aged brandy. The producer traces the recipe back 200 years: sweet orange peels are macerated in grape spirit, then distilled, before refined, aged brandy is added and the blend receives further aging before bottling.

The producer describes a refined nose of intense orange with a hint of vanilla. Powerful aromatics, a rich body, and a long finish give this liqueur a voluptuous, rounded character, equally inviting as a small after-dinner pour or an orange component in a cocktail.
