Tasting Notes

Appearance

This iconic French XO Cognac presents a deep, rich mahogany amber colour with exceptional brilliance and depth, displaying the extraordinary quality characteristic of Hennessy XO — the Original, the emblematic icon of the House of Hennessy, created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his personal use and circle of friends, and aged in cellars containing some of the oldest cognacs in the world.

Aroma

The nose is deep, powerful and immediately captivating, with spicy oak and leather creating a richly complex and beautifully expressive aromatic profile of genuine distinction. Sweet undertones of flowers and ripe fruit add a layer of elegance and refinement that perfectly balances the power and energy of the eaux-de-vie — a bouquet of outstanding complexity and authentic Hennessy XO character that rewards slow, contemplative appreciation.

Palate

Rich, full-bodied and deeply complex on the palate, with initial hints of pepper and rancio that are a testament to the extensive ageing process and the exceptional quality of eaux-de-vie aged in young barrels. The flavours are beautifully well-balanced, with the power and energy of the eaux-de-vie achieving a great roundness through time — a XO of outstanding depth, harmony and enduring distinction. The finish is long, warm and deeply satisfying.

Pairs With

This exceptional Hennessy XO Cognac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, leather-aged cheeses, foie gras, smoked meats, or enjoyed neat in a tulip glass as a contemplative digestif — the ultimate expression of the Original XO style and the perfect gift for the most discerning Cognac connoisseur.
