This exquisite fluted decanter of Camus XO Cognac represents a sought-after bottling from the 1990s, a period of classic presentation for the esteemed House of Camus. As the largest family-owned Cognac house, Camus has built a legacy on quality and craftsmanship since its founding in 1863 by Jean-Baptiste Camus. This particular expression, an "Extra Old" Cognac, is a testament to that heritage, containing a masterful blend of eaux-de-vie aged for a minimum of ten years.
Encased in a distinctive decanter, this release is instantly recognizable by its elegant, fluted lower half and sophisticated silhouette. The 1990s were a time when Camus continued to solidify its global reputation, particularly in the duty-free and Asian markets, making this bottle a snapshot of the brand's international prestige during that era. The quality of the blend within speaks to the family's control over the entire production process, from the grape to the glass, ensuring a consistent and high-quality spirit. For collectors, this decanter is not just a vessel of fine Cognac but a piece of the brand's celebrated history.
The contents are expected to deliver the rich and complex profile characteristic of a well-aged XO Cognac, with deep amber tones and a bouquet of ripe fruits, floral notes, and hints of oak and spice. Its presentation in the original textured black box further enhances its collectability, making it a rare and valuable find for any connoisseur of fine spirits.
The presentation of this 1990s Camus XO is a study in classic luxury. The front of the bottle features an oval black label with a simple gold border. On this label, the "TRADE MARK" designation appears above the iconic Camus four-leaf clover-like emblem. Below the emblem, "CAMUS" and "XO" are displayed in a prominent serif font, with "COGNAC" in a smaller, clean sans-serif typeface. The bottle's neck is adorned with a black capsule, accented by two horizontal gold stripes and the characters "H.K.S. 5" in gold.
A standout feature is the heavy, fluted clear glass stopper. It is elegantly etched with a cursive "Camus & Cie" signature, accompanied by a small bird-like emblem. A black circular sticker with "CAMUS XO" in gold lettering sits atop the stopper. The bottle itself is a work of art, with the lower portion featuring a striking faceted, fluted pattern that captures and reflects light. Adding to its unique character, a crest matching the emblem on the main label is embossed directly into the glass on the back shoulder of the bottle.
This offering includes the original black presentation box, which features a texture reminiscent of crocodile skin and is framed with gold borders. The front of the box mirrors the bottle's label, displaying "XO" and "CAMUS XO COGNAC," while the side features "CAMUS" printed vertically in a large, elegant gold font. The fill level of the cognac is below the shoulder, which is a consideration for collectors regarding its overall condition.
