Hennessy 70cl X.O. Cognac Gift Boxed

Hennessy X.O (“Extra Old”) is the original X.O, starting the category in 1870. Blended using long aged eaux-de-vies, it was initially blended for the Maison’s family and friends and now celebrates 150 years. Smooth yet complex, delicate but strong, bold yet subtle. Each drop of Hennessy X.O opens a new door to hidden facets of intensity and sophistication. With eaux-de-vie carefully selected and aged for a long time, the result is a cognac that is bold, rich and undeniably rare.

Since 1765 Hennessy has been associated with excellence and mystery. Behind its closely guarded doors, the Hennessy Comité de Désgustation - unparalleled in the world of cognac - creates some of the most unique and elegant blends, thanks to its priceless heritage: the largest and most diverse reserve of eaux-de-vie in the world.

The Nose - The first wave, rich in dried fruit aromas such as prunes or dried figs, overcomes you. The aromas evolve to more dense notes of chocolate and black pepper, mellowed by cinnamon, clove and cardamom spices.

Palate - Richly textured, rounded and pleasing, it manages to possess both power and softness at the same time, with a chocolatey hint and an all-encompassing overtone of fruitiness. Its tremendous length emphasizes its initial complexity.

Serve -  At once soft and powerful, it has an undeniably modern personality, which enables it to be appreciated either neat, on the rocks or even cut with a splash of water.
