Kelt XO

Kelt Cognac is a newcomer established in 1987 by Olev Kelt. Familiar with the Norwegian aquavit that has its maturation at sea sailing from Norway to the Equator and then back again, he built a container that stays on a ship for 90 to 100 days, depending on the weather.

Using small barrels and only Grande Champagne grapes, the barrels are filled to 70% of capacity so there is ample room for the Cognac to wash around inside the barrel. Kelt XO, average age 28 years- $150.
