St-remy XO is a brand of character with complex aromas and a robust taste, enriched by a multitude of flavours that make it irresistible to the connoisseur. The nose is quite rich, with lots of dried fruit and spice. Raisins, dried currants, gooseberries, black currant jam, marmelade, candied orange peel, white pepper, vanilla, clove, and a bit of dry-ness on the nose. The palate is sweet, with orange blossom honey, green tea, dried apricot, lots of dried fruit, and lots of baking spice – it follows much from the nose, but is surprisingly lighter than the aromas on the nose. The finish is slightly nutty, with almond and lots of raisin and a touch of apple. Honey and cinnamon, too. Medium bodied: it's not a light brandy, nor a really heavy one.
