What do reviewers say about Notorious XO and Amber Kiso?
Built for the kind of evening where you want to be remembered, not announced. The cognac and vanilla do the flirting so you don't have to. Refined enough for a table, interesting enough to mean.Notorious XO
Amber Kiso is not a crowd-pleaser. It opens sharp, cools down into something earthy and slightly bitter, and the leather-and-hinoki drydown asks you to lean in.Amber Kiso
