St Agnes Distillery XO 15yo South Australia Brandy

Description

The XO range, 15yo, 20yo and this 40yo are nothing but stunning. And the key to success of these spirits is the seamless integration of spirit and oak and depth and complexity of their flavours. They are the complete package.

And Angove’s entry level 15yo XO is by no means a lightweight in this lineup as thew following 2021 show results testify…

My rough notes read, “Big, broad, complex, mouthfilling, length, fruity, balanced oak. Sweet fruit finish.  Australian spirit makers need to look at this as the integration of oak and spirit is extraordinary”.
