That’s gotta be the sexiest liqueur around!

Personally, I don’t need the fancy write-up to entice me. Just some cool, new recipes would suffice.

Well I must confess: I find this product description over the top. I feel almost insulted. I’d feel more aroused if they ditched the expensive wrapping, saved some cost on overhead, thus putting a few more bucks in my pocket. Regardless, I’m about to enjoy some by the fire on my Bengal tiger throw.

Care to join me Tessa?

Xanté is not a joke. It is a truly memorable pleasure. I use to sip it when I lived in Scandinavia. Xanté is meant to be sipped… with the one you plan to be with. It is not meant to drink alone. Xanté is an experience. I too would like to know where to find it here in America. I am in Chicago, I cannot find it here.

This is a Swedish product, and as a citizen of that country I´d like to apologize for it.
Xanté comes straight from the lab and tastes exactly like that, and if you like that sort of thing this may be the sort of thing you like, but beware: it´s sexiness is all linguistic. They should be sued for connecting it to “Cognac”.

“Velvety hole” just moved to the top of “Phrases I am Going to Beat to Death this Summer” list.
And interesting study in brand positioning.

Thanks for costing me £16.10. Just ordered a bottle online. I love Cognac and with so many people mentioning that word in relation to this drink I just got to try it.

I guess I should of got away from my computer for a bit and went and bought a shot or two from a bar to see if I like it first.

I wonder if I can cancel that order…..

So, next would be Teton vodka… giggity giggity… Great write up. It almost sounds Bourdainish. Regardless, I am now thirsty. Gotta go grab something pear. Cheers.

Nothing raunchy that I can see, Morgenthaler, it’s just your dirty mind.

Healthy exercise will cure this weakness.

Why not go pound some steely-hard pegs into soft, welcoming, furry undergrowth –

on a camping holiday, say?

I just reflected the whole topic.
It would be worth to try to make a liqueur using Domfrontais Calvados.
This area in the Normandy has to use a minimum of 30% pears in the cider.

But then it depends, if you can find these calvados for a decent price…

Drink the pear liqueur, or make love to it….

Those guys should write copy for the side of the Asom Brosso bottle.

Well… I guess it could be used as a sex toy.

Does the booze inside remotely worth all the fuss? I actually don’t think anything is worth such fuss, but you know what I mean. It looks like a cheap way to give prestige to a very ordinary product. Sounds like a glorified Belle de brillet to me.

The only “over the top” packaging that I like is the one for the Bowmore 40 years, with the magnificent bottle, the chest and the monocle.

Clearly, the X in Xanté means you’re in for some x-rated santé, French for health. In other words, sexual healing. Via pears. Because you already have the pegs, balls and mallets you need.

Just a Quick aside, Norwegian Wood, now erect bottles in velvety holes? Your blog rules.
Thanks for the review!

Hi Jeffrey,

Great write up!
Xante is not really new – maybe it is rebranded and new in the US.

Like usually in Dubai, it is difficult to get your hands on something like that, so invested into the elaborate procedure of a special import, a couple years ago.

The cost of a special import is quite high, so I had great expectations – which were almost met by the product.

Though too soon, the we finished the stocks.
My homemade take on Xante surprised to be even better than the original: VSOP Cognac, Eau de vie de fruit de poire williams and sugar – all blended together and left for few days.

The result had more impressive fruit flavors, deeper Cognac flavors and a little more soothing heat…

Due to the extensive cost of special imports, the homemade product was even less expensive.

…it must have been a dirty and sexy for you, because directly below this article you have Norwegian Wood. Coincidence? I think not.
