Hennessy XO Cognac | 700ml The Original Extra Old

Experience the legendary depth and richness of Hennessy XO, the original "Extra Old" Cognac, presented in its distinguished 700ml bottle. Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his circle of friends, this iconic blend was the first to be classified as XO. It is composed of over 100 exceptionally aged eaux-de-vie, some up to 30 years old, primarily from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions, matured in young oak barrels which give it its robust power.

Hennessy XO is celebrated for its profound aromatic complexity and powerful yet velvety palate. The nose is a captivating journey through robust notes of candied fruit and prunes, intertwined with warm spices like cinnamon and black pepper, and a subtle hint of chocolate. On the palate, it delivers a symphony of flavours: a delightful balance of honeyed sweetness, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a distinct oaky warmth, all evolving into an immensely long, satisfying finish. Its rich mahogany colour and powerful structure invite contemplation.

This 700ml decanter of Hennessy XO is more than a spirit; it's a testament to audacious blending, representing a benchmark of supreme quality and timeless appeal. Perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks, Hennessy XO is an essential for true Cognac aficionados, an impressive gift, and a luxurious addition to any premium collection.
