HENNESSY X.O

BUY ONLINE

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.

Our Tasting Committee has explored every facet of the blend and identified several emotions that were assimilated to an Odyssey through 7 chapters:

Sweet Notes: The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit.
Rising Heat: The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels.
Spicy Edge: Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.
Flowing Flame: A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt.
Chocolate Lull: There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate.
Wood Crunches: A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla.
Infinite Echo: 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.

DID YOU KNOW

THE ORIGINAL X.O COGNAC

Created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his circle of friends, Hennessy X.O was one of the first Cognacs classified as X.O, or “extra old”, because of its extended aging process.

EARLY SHIPMENTS

In the year of its creation, Hennessy X.O was already being delivered to Irish cognac lovers.
In 1872, it became known to key Chinese customers in Shanghai, who ordered sixty bottles from the House. The character of Hennessy X.O was particularly appreciated in China where, over the years, orders continued to grow.

HENNESSY X.O & ICE / MODE DE DEGUSTATION SUR GLACE

Hennessy X.O on Three Rocks

Hennessy X.O avec 3 glaçons libère peu à peu des arômes successifs.
Un mode de dégustation à la fois contemporain et ancré dans la tradition familiale Hennessy.
Versez le cognac Henness X.O dans un verre X.O Thomas Bastide sur trois cubes de glace de bonne taille. La glace fond alors progressivement, libérant les arômes de fruits confits et d’épices de Hennessy X.O.
Une façon de déguster Hennessy X.O, comme le fait la famille Hennessy depuis plusieurs générations, à l’apéritif ou après un dîner.
