Hennessy XO

The Hennessy XO is one of the world’s most famous and iconic Extra Old (XO) category cognacs. Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy, it was the first cognac to bear the “Extra Old” label, highlighting the length and depth of its aging process.This exceptional spirit is a masterful blend of over 100 different eaux-de-vie (grape brandies), which are aged between 10 and 30 years in French oak barrels.On the nose, dried fruits like raisins and figs, along with spices such as cinnamon and cloves, dominate, complemented by notes of toasted almonds, oak, and a hint of cocoa and tobacco. The first sip is marked by deep, caramel and woody tones, which gradually give way to spicy, dark chocolate, black pepper, and vanilla layers, finishing with a long, warm aftertaste.The Hennessy XO is known for its “Seven Dimensions” experience, offering seven different flavor profiles – sweet, spicy, intense, chocolatey, oaky, roasted, and velvety – all unfolding simultaneously, providing a truly complex and deep tasting experience.
