Hennessy XO

Product description
In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac.  Hennessy X.O is the Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison. 

Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.O cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time.

The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit. The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels. Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate. A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt.

There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate. A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla. The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.
