Description
Kvint Divin XXO Elite Collection is a rare 20-year-old Moldovan brandy, known locally as Divin.
Made from a selection of white grape varieties including Bianca, Aligoté, Ugni Blanc, Riesling, and Colombard, it is double-distilled in traditional Charentais pot stills, following the same artisanal method used for Cognac.
After two decades of aging in French oak, this amber-hued spirit reveals exceptional balance, complexity, and smoothness, with rich notes of dried figs, toasted oak, vanilla, and spice.
Produced by Kvint, Moldova’s most prestigious distillery (founded in 1897), this XXO is a true expression of Eastern European mastery in fine brandy-making.
History
Located on the same latitude as Bordeaux, Moldova has one of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world, with vineyards dating back more than 5,000 years. Thanks to its exceptional terroir and generations of know-how, the country has become a rising star on the international wine scene.
In recent years, Moldovan wines have won hundreds of prestigious medals at leading global competitions such as the Decanter World Wine Awards, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, Vinarium, and the International Wine & Spirits Competition. These accolades confirm Moldova as one of the best destinations for premium wines in Eastern Europe. With 2,000 ha of estate vineyards and full control from vine to bottle, Kvint’s Divin spirits are crafted to international Cognac standards.
The XXO Elite Collection (Extra Extra Old) is aged for an impressive 20 years in French oak barrels, resulting in extraordinary depth, a silky-smooth texture, and refined layers of dried figs, cedar, vanilla, and warm spice – all balanced by a remarkable elegance and maturity.
Selected with care by Maison Tanase, official importer of Moldova’s top wines and spirits in France and Europe, this bottle reflects the unique character and refinement of the region’s grapes.

How to Serve & Pairings

FAQ – Cognac vs Brandy, Moldovan-style
🍇 What does XXO mean in brandy?
XXO stands for “Extra Extra Old”, indicating a brandy aged at least 14 years, offering a richer, more complex profile than XO.
It’s a mark of prestige and depth in aging.
🍇 What is the difference between XXO and XO Cognac?
XO means Extra Old, with a minimum aging of 10 years.
XXO means Extra Extra Old, aged at least 14 years, with more intense aromas and a smoother, more refined taste.
🍇 How old is an XXO Cognac?
By definition, an XXO Cognac is aged at least 14 years in oak barrels, with some premium examples like Kvint Divin XXO aged 20 years or more.
🍇 Is XXO better than XO?
XXO typically offers greater complexity and a rounder texture due to longer aging, but both categories represent high-quality spirits suited for connoisseurs.
🍇 What’s the difference between brandy and Cognac?
Cognac is a type of brandy from Cognac, France, with strict AOC rules.
Kvint Divin uses the same process (grapes, double distillation, oak aging), but is made in Moldova – a rising star in fine brandy production.
🍇 Are Cognac and brandy the same?
Cognac is a brandy, but not all brandy is Cognac. Kvint Divin is a Moldovan grape brandy distilled like Cognac, offering similar elegance at a better price.
🍇 Why is Rémy Martin so expensive?
Rémy Martin sources from premium Grand Champagne terroirs and ages its Cognacs longer. Kvint offers a comparable experience at a more accessible price.
🍇 Cognac vs Brandy vs Armagnac?
- Cognac: French, double-distilled, refined
- Armagnac: French, single-distilled, more rustic
- Brandy: Broad category including Moldova’s Divin

Kvint Divin XXO 20 Years is the most prestigious Moldovan brandy, aged two decades in French oak and double-distilled like Cognac.
