Hennessy X.O. Cognac

THE ORIGINAL X.OCreated by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his circle of friends, X.O was born at a turning point in history and introduced a new style of cognac: bold, rich and complex.LONG AGING FOR GREATER INTENSITYThe 100 eaux-de-vie assembled to create X.O were aged for a long time some for 30 years to give an unparalleled robustness. Maurice Hennessy gave the name X.O to this unique extra old cognac.DEEPLY COMPLEX AND RICHIts intense and deep amber color is a sign of its strength. Its flavors of candied fruit and its subtle and lightly spicy nose create a complete harmony: a mark of its roundness. To taste, a smooth, full sensation gives a simultaneously powerful and soft tonality with a hint of cocoa and a warm fruity presence. The long finish expresses all the complexity of the cognacs blending and its long aging process.WHEN APPRECIATION GROWSAt once deep and powerful, its character seduces connoisseurs, who appreciate its undeniable modernity and constant revelation of layers of flavors, whether tasted neat, on ice or with a splash of still or sparkling water.
