Created in 1920 by Jacques and Robert Delamain, Pale & Dry XO refers to its pale color and lightness. The name reflects a unique choice in the XO category: to produce a cognac with no added sugar or colorant, aged in old oak barrels, making it lighter and with less wood influence on the palate. A century later, Pale & Dry XO remains faithful to this original elegance, which allows the fruit of refined eaux-de-vie to blossom with majesty.
