Otard XO Cognac – circa 1990 Presentation

Maison Otard – Cognac, France Category: XO Cognac (Extra Old – minimum 6 years aging - probably longer) Condition: Excellent – bottle and packaging fully original, well preserved

This exceptional Otard XO Cognac is presented in its original matte black decanter, with teardrop shape and silver-toned cap, housed in a branded black and gold cardboard box bearing the Otard crest and the statement "au Château de Cognac." The bottle design and packaging are characteristic of late-1980s editions.

The original outer box remains in excellent condition and includes a printed label with barcode (3 253781 050024), the inscription "Printed in France", and production reference “44/89” — most likely indicating a 1989 bottling.
[Expert's remark: it indicates that the design of the box was registered in 1989, but the Spanish tax strip does match a 1989 to early 1990s period - ES]

The bottle also retains its original Spanish tax seal (Hacienda Pública), fully intact — a rare and valuable detail for collectors, confirming provenance and authenticity.

Privately cellared for over 30 years in stable conditions, this bottle is now offered at auction for the first time.

Tasting Profile (typical for Otard XO):
Elegant nose of dried fruits, violet, rancio and sweet spices. The palate is smooth and complex, showing notes of leather, roasted nuts, oak and honey, with a lingering and structured finish.

A rare collector’s Cognac with historical value, ideal for connoisseurs and vintage spirits enthusiasts.
