ABK6 Cognac is a modern, family-owned house with deep roots in the Grande Champagne region, the Premier Cru of Cognac. Founded by the Abécassis family, the estate is led by Elisabeth and Francis Abécassis, who are committed to a single-estate philosophy, cultivating, distilling, and ageing all their eaux-de-vie from their own vineyards. This complete control from vine to bottle allows ABK6 to craft Cognacs of exceptional purity, character, and finesse, blending traditional savoir-faire with a sleek, modern aesthetic that appeals to a new generation of spirits enthusiasts.
The ABK6 XO Renaissance represents the culmination of decades of craftsmanship. Made exclusively from eaux-de-vie aged for a minimum of ten years in French oak barrels, this exceptional Cognac is a tribute to the estate’s philosophy of purity, structure, and finesse. It showcases the full potential of well-aged, single-estate Grande and Petite Champagne spirit.
In the glass, it glows with a deep amber hue and golden highlights. The nose is intensely aromatic and regal, revealing rich layers of dried fig, orange marmalade, vanilla, cinnamon, and roasted walnut, followed by delicate floral hints and fine oak spice. On the palate, it is velvety, full-bodied, and remarkably smooth, unfolding with notes of praline, baked apple, toffee, candied citrus peel, and nutmeg. A beautiful rancio character emerges mid-palate, adding depth and complexity. The finish is long, warm, and luxuriously textured, with echoes of leather, dark honey, and sweet spice.
