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.
Tasting Notes
The palate is warmly embraced by flavours 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 flavour 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 flavour 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.Product Details
