Discover the timeless luxury of Hennessy X.O Cognac, a truly premium brandy crafted for connoisseurs of the finest spirits. Since its creation in 1870, Hennessy X.O (Extra Old) has redefined the cognac experience, setting the global benchmark for aged eaux-de-vie.
Presented in an elegantly designed 70cl gift box, this French brandy is the perfect balance of heritage, craft, and powerful flavour—making it a remarkable spirit for sipping, gifting, or celebrating life’s special moments.
The Original Extra Old Cognac
In 1870, Maurice Hennessy asked the master blender to create a special blend using long-aged eaux-de-vie. The result was the very first “X.O” – meaning “Extra Old” – a category that would go on to define the world of aged cognacs. Hennessy X.O was not just a drink, but a statement of character and tradition.
Each bottle of Hennessy X.O contains a blend of over 100 eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years, sourced from the most prestigious vineyards in the Cognac region of France. This spirit reflects both French craftsmanship and refined aging expertise.
A Symphony of Flavour and Complexity
On the Eyes:
Hennessy X.O reveals a deep amber hue, with rich flashes of mahogany and gold. Its darker tones distinguish it from younger cognacs, immediately signaling its depth and maturity.
On the Nose:
The nose opens with elegant notes of candied fruit, dried figs, and prunes, followed by hints of cocoa, black pepper, and cinnamon. These aromas blend together into a signature fragrance that’s both fruity and lightly spiced.
On the Palate:
From the first sip, Hennessy X.O is bold and balanced. You’ll explore layers of complex flavour notes, including dark chocolate, ripe fruit, spices, and oak. Its full-bodied structure leads to an exceptionally long finish, inviting you into a journey of taste that unfolds through seven distinct stages—from sweet to spicy, and warm to woody.
