Delicious and Heavenly Cognac
"This cognac is tasty and wonderful. I've never bought a Remy before, but I made a great decision with this one. It was simple to decide because Total Wine in my neighborhood had it for $139. I now realize that the bottle I own contains some caramel (burnt brown sugar), but the complexity and nuances were excellent. With a lengthy finish, it also has fruity, fig, grape, and some floral notes. Great Work!"

It's great to have Remy Martin XO.
"I have sampled cognacs while traveling throughout France, and this XO is by far the finest value for the money because it is so smooth and has an exceptional scent. If you must, a superior A. F. After dinner, a cigar might go well with this cognac. For instance, I have tried top-shelf Courvoisier, but Remy Martin XO stands out as the best cognac for the money, thus I always buy it from Total Wine."

I shouldn't have had high expectations for a 10-year-old.
"Definitely not my fave; I had great hopes instead, spend your cash on 1738 By the way, I have a lot of expertise with fine brandies, and this is obviously just my viewpoint. When looking for brandy, age really important. Although it was quite lovely on the scent, the taste was alcohol-heavy and had some rough edges. The juice gets sweeter as the berries get older, and Hennessy VSOP is more smoother than Remy Martin XO, to name just two examples. If you appreciate tasting, you must try it to decide for yourself, but I wasn't impressed."

Support Of The Elegant Palette!
"I only ever drink cognac like this! Not for the faint of heart, REMY XO! One of the best brands of cognac available is this one! It demands a particular palate that appreciates the finer things in life! I like to gamble, and I often spend $35 when I visit a casino. ready for a try! I won't consume the free drinks offered by casinos. I keep an extra bottle of REMY XO in the cupboard because it can be difficult to find during the Chinese New Year. Give REMY XO a try when you have that special occasion; you won't regret it! Price is fair."

Poor and offensive
"I used to drink Remy Martin frequently when it was among the smoothest cognacs on the market, but in the early 1980s, when it wanted to compete with Courvoisier, to which it was losing market share, RM chose to lower the quality of its cognac. The grand fine still offered the smooth, vintage RM, but the standard RM had turned fairly harsh. The fact that good cognac shouldn't burn your mouth when you sip it is among its most essential characteristics. Unfortunately, this XO reminds me of the old rotten gut cognac. RM Centaure has been my beverage of choice, and I've been given the XO as a gift. How disappointing! The Centaure is a vast improvement. Spending money on this is a waste."

Remy Martin XO: The Joy of Drinking

Nice, but not reliable.
"Over the past many years, I've consumed a number of bottles of this XO. It appears that at least one bottle is given away on every birthday and holiday. Having stated that. . . . Some of the bottles, in my opinion, were fantastic, while others were only passable. Why is this XO so inconsistent? I don't understand. But when you find a fantastic bottle, it's like winning the lottery!"

Fantastic Value for the Money
"I haven't had a lot of cognacs, but this is unquestionably the smoothest and best-tasting one I've had so yet. This is not the bottle you want to buy if you're searching for something to mix beverages with. I could sip on this continuously all evening."

Exceptional Cognac
"André Giraud, cellar master at Rémy from 1960 to 1990, developed the Rémy Martin XO Excellence in 1981. In order to create Rémy Martin XO, a blend of eaux de vie from the Grand (85%) and Petite (15%) Champagne growing regions in the Cognac region was used."
