Elixir - Exsto Cognac (750ml)
At first nose, Exsto Elixir exudes intense notes of caramel au beurre (caramel with butter), red fruits, ripe peaches and apricots, exotic spices – vanilla, cinnamon, and star anise, roasted pineapple and melon with a twist of bitter oak. Upon a drop of water, the cognac’s buttery notes are brought out for a richer finish.
Elixir comprises a mixture of eight eaux-de-vie chosen out of the rarest and oldest stock from the producers.
TALK OF THE TOWN
“Exsto cognac Elixir - is an excellent cognac with magnificent depth, yet classy and delicious texture with enticing aromas of sweet honey and vanilla and flavour notes of caramel, red orchard, dried nuts and crushed spices. “ - Daniel Stojcic, Ireland’s Best sommelier 2020
“Although the Elixir is a very fruit-forward cognac, it is by no means a ‘new age’ spirit that thumbs its nose at traditional cognacs. It offers lovely notes of caramel, citrus, and ginger, along with a light, rustic touch of oak that should keep the purists satisfied”. Lin Weiwen, journalist at Channel News Asia
“The result is something quite spectacular, and certainly not everyday (if there is such a thing) Cognac. The Elixir (RRP $688) is a measured tipple, strongly reminiscent of baking spices, raspberries, stone fruit, roasted pineapple, and buttered caramel with well-integrated oak that gives a touch of edge and heft.” Weets Goh, journalist at The Peak Magazine
