Jean-Marc XO Vodka

One of the most unique vodkas I've ever tasted is Jean-Marc XO Vodka.




It's one of the smoothest and interresting vodkas I've ever tasted.


Jean-Marc XO Vodka is made from four rare varieties of French wheat. They are Ysengrain, Orvantis, Azteque, and Chargeur. Each wheat is seperated from its chaff before distillation, in order to eliminate and bitterness.


This vodka only uses pure Gensac spring water from the Cognac area, filtered naturally for centuries through Grande Champagne limestone.


To create a refined a spirit as possible, Jean-Marc XO is micro-oxygenated just after distillation, like First Growth Bordeaux wines.


This vodka is distilled 9 times!! To finish, it is charcoal-filtered through Limousin oak.

I've read many reviews with varying opinions on what to compare the finish to. I, personally, find a great sharp and quick cinnamon taste. This is one vodka to look our for if you enjoy vodka neat or vodka and water.
