Delamain Pale & Dry XO Cognac Overview

This 50cl edition of Delamain Pale & Dry XO offers a long-aged, elegant Cognac made exclusively from Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. It is crafted for purity, dryness and aromatic finesse rather than weight or sweetness.

Best for luxury gifting in a more compact format. It offers the same depth as the full release but in a more personal, measured pour. Pairs gently with fine chocolate or hard cheese.

Meet The Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and distilling approach.

Delamain

Delamain is a prestigious Cognac house based in Jarnac, France, founded in 1824 and renowned for its focus on single-cru Cognac from the Grande Champagne region. The house is dedicated exclusively to producing high-quality, long-aged Cognacs that reflect elegance, finesse and purity.

Unlike many Cognac producers, Delamain specialises in selecting only the finest eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, which are then aged extensively in French oak casks. The style is defined by refinement and complexity rather than power, resulting in Cognacs with delicate aromatics, layered fruit character and exceptional length.

FAQs For Delamain Pale & Dry XO Cognac

How is it made?

This XO is crafted exclusively from Grande Champagne eaux‑de‑vie, Cognac’s premier cru. Delamain matures its Cognacs for around 25 years in seasoned Limousin oak, allowing slow development of finesse, complexity and aromatic depth.

After ageing, the eaux‑de‑vie are married for an additional two years, creating perfect harmony and integration. No sugar or caramel is added. The “Pale & Dry” name reflects both its naturally light colour and its elegant dryness, achieved through Delamain’s commitment to purity and traditional craftsmanship.

What does XO mean?

XO stands for Extra Old, indicating that the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend has been aged for at least 10 years. Delamain Pale & Dry XO is typically matured for around 25 years, giving it exceptional depth and refinement.

How should it be stored?

Store the bottle:

  • Upright
  • In a cool, dry place
  • Away from direct sunlight
  • Tightly sealed after opening
Is it good for gifting?

Yes. It feels luxurious but is more approachable in size and price than the standard bottle.
