Overall (84)
Naud XO is firmly in the collector's territory for me, with its clear focus on structure and depth rather than quick charm.
Aroma
On the nose, there's plenty of oak and leather, with a whiff of tobacco leaf and just enough cinnamon poking through to keep it lively.
Taste
The palate confirms what the aroma promises: wood-driven and quite dry, but layered. Leather and sandalwood are up front, some cigar box in the mid-palate, and then a touch of rancio that keeps me coming back. No simple sugariness, if anything, it could use a bit more roundness, but I prefer that to feeling cloying.
Finish
Finish is long enough, mostly toast and spice lingering alongside some earthy tobacco.
