FAQ
1) Is the decanter real Baccarat crystal?
Yes. Each bottle is a genuine Baccarat crystal decanter with a crystal stopper, crafted in France and designed for display and reuse.

It starts with select Woodford Reserve bourbon and is then finished in XO Cognac casks, which add rich fruit, patisserie spice, and a silkier mouthfeel.
