Hennessy X.O

The emblematic icon of the House, Hennessy X.O remains unchanged since its creation in 1870, but never ceases to surprise and reveal its rich and robust character.

“Hennessy, the precious alchemy of Cognac Exceptional things require time, but simply to wait is not enough. Down through the years since 1765, Hennessy has been associated with excellence and mystery. Behind its closely guarded doors, the Hennessy Comité de Dégustation (Tasting Committee) – unparalleled in the world of cognac – creates some of the most unique and elegant blends, thanks to its priceless heritage: the largest and most diverse reserve of eaux-de-vie in the world. This delicate alchemy and unique knowledge gives birth to some of the most extraordinary cognacs. This Savoir-Faire, passed down across 250 years, rests on three pillars, each elevated to the level of an art form: the selection of the eaux-de-vie; their maturation; and their blending. It is for these reasons that, for 250 years, Hennessy has been able to preserve and perpetuate its expertise, and to establish a unique style with such a variety of expressions. The emblematic icon of the House of Hennessy, created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870, Hennessy X.O is the Original. It has remained unchanged since its creation, yet it never ceases to surprise the connoisseur, to whom it reveals more of its multiple facets every time it is tasted. Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of Hennessy X.O, aged in young barrels, are marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time. This selection of eaux-de-vie, which have absorbed the wood tannins over a lengthy period, form a cognac of a uniquely satisfying character, robust and rich with incredible persistence. A perfect gift.”

Palate:  At once soft and powerful, it has an undeniably modern personality, which enables it to be appreciated either neat, on the rocks or even cut with a splash of water.
