Colombard distillate adds a fresh apple character while Sémillon provides richness with peach and apricot notes. The balance of both fruit and oak flavors is unique to Germain-Robin XO. The vanilla and toast flavors from the French oak complement the fruit which creates layers of complexity that only can be found from sourcing great fruit. The fermentation and distillation is driven with the goal of emphasizing fruit and mouthfeel and then paired with aging in select Limousin Oak Barrels. Texturally, the brandy is extremely smooth and has an incredibly long finish.\\u003c\/p\\u003e\",\"second\":\"\\u003cp\\u003eThe high-quality California wine grapes in Germain-Robin XO showcase unique flavors and layered textures.

After blending, the cognac is put back into the original casks, filled to 70% capacity, with a 30% air cavity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•The cask are then sent to the French port of LeHavre, where they are loaded onto the top deck of an Evergreen Lines ship, for a 90 day Tour du Monde, French for “circling the world”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•Limousin oak is very porous, containing the two most important components cellarmasters look for in cognac, vanilla and nutmeg\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•On the voyage, the rolling of the ship helps the cognac slosh around in the casks so that all of the spirit comes in contact\u003cbr\u003ewith the Limousin oak barrels, extracting more vanilla, nutmeg, and tannins from casks than other cognacs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•The temperature and barometric pressure fluctuates during the sea voyage, causing the casks’ staves to expand and contract,\u003cbr\u003ereleasing cask air and taking in sea air\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•During the ocean voyage, 7-9% of the product is lost through evaporation. Cognacs, which are simply aged in cellars on\u003cbr\u003eland, lose about 0.75 to 2% per year. The advantage to the Kelt method is that the higher losses through evaporation take the\u003cbr\u003ealcohol off the nose. More importantly, these high levels of evaporation accelerate the aging process by more than 7 years\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•After 90 days at sea, the cognac returns to LeHavre, and is returned to the cellars in Cognac, where it rests for 65 days before bottling. This allows the alcohol molecules to remarry with the water molecules before bottling\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•Every bottle of Kelt Cognac comes with a certificate from Olev Kelt guaranteeing that the cognac has made the Tour du Monde voyage.
