Landy Cognac XO No. 1 40% vol. 0.7 l is a premium French XO cognac that combines the time-honoured art of distillation from the Cognac region with an exceptionally long period of ageing in oak casks. Behind the Landy brand stands the renowned Cognac Ferrand house, which is known for its careful selection of high-quality eaux-de-vie and its many years of experience in the production of premium French spirits. For Landy XO No. 1, selected distillates from the three Cognac growing regions – Fins Bois, Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne – are blended together. The eaux-de-vie used have an average ageing period of around 20 years, with individual components being stored in oak casks for up to 25 years.


Landy XO Cognac is produced using traditional double distillation in small 25-hl copper stills, before the eaux-de-vie begin their long period of cask ageing. During the first year, 380-litre casks made from French Limousin oak are used; their high tannin content influences the development of the distillates. Subsequently, the cognac is aged further in older oak casks, which allow for a gentle maturation process. The careful blending of distillates of varying ages highlights the traditional savoir-faire of French cognac production. As an XO cognac (Extra Old), this bottling, with an average ageing period of around 20 years, significantly exceeds the prescribed minimum ageing period of ten years. Landy Cognac XO No. 1 is bottled at 40% ABV in the classic 0.7-litre bottle and contains added colouring.
