Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
- Nose: A powerful yet understated "explosion" of fragrances. You’ll find jasmine, iris, ripe plum, and candied orange, with a sweet hint of honey and hazelnuts.
- Palate: An astonishingly generous mouthfeel. Initial flavors of fresh passion fruit evolve into deeper notes of ripe autumn fruits, dried figs, and warm nutmeg.
- Finish: Long and "gourmet." It leaves a velvet trail of roasted cocoa beans, honeyed gingerbread, and cinnamon.
Food Pairings & The "Jü" Cocktail
- Savory: Aged Parmesan or Pata Negra Ham. The saltiness of the ham and the "crystals" in the cheese highlight the spicy, nutty finish of the XO.
