Hennessy : XO

Charente -

Hennessy XO (Extra Old) is an icon of the cognac world, first created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for a circle of close friends and connoisseurs. It was the first cognac ever to bear the "XO" label, ushering in a new era of aged, opulent, and powerful eaux-de-vie. Composed of around 100 different eaux-de-vie aged between 10 and 30 years, it represents the very essence of Hennessy's heritage, complexity, and artisanal mastery.

Appearance: Deep mahogany with copper and amber hues. A thick, slow-falling texture hints at its richness and maturity.
Nose: Generous, layered, and evocative. Notes of dried fruits—figs, prunes—mingle with candied orange peel, bitter cocoa, cinnamon, and pepper. As it breathes, additional aromas of leather, polished wood, and blond tobacco emerge, creating an intricate and luxurious bouquet.
Palate: Bold yet refined. The mouthfeel is rounded and full, with flavors of stewed fruits, roasted nuts, mocha, and nutmeg. Mid-palate reveals a fine balance of spice and sweetness, leading to a long, warm, and complex finish filled with honeyed oak, soft smoke, and dried floral notes.

Hennessy XO is crafted from a meticulous blend of old eaux-de-vie primarily sourced from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne—the finest crus in Cognac. Aged in fine-grain French oak barrels, it gains extraordinary depth over time while maintaining remarkable balance and elegance. Every sip tells a story—a tale of craftsmanship, time, and the art of blending.

More than a spirit, Hennessy XO is a sensorial journey—rich, symphonic, and unforgettable. A masterpiece to be savored with attention and reverence.

12bouteilles' Tip: Serve neat in a tulip or balloon glass, warmed slightly in the hand. An exceptional after-dinner pour with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or a fine cigar.
