Hennessy - Cognac - Hennessy XO

Conceived by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his close circle of friends, Cognac Hennessy XO stands out due to its precise balance, setting it as a benchmark cognac. The selection of over a hundred eaux-de-vie that comprise it demands exceptional rigor: each one is chosen at the peak of its potential, representing the best of each age and each region. Its deep and intense amber color foreshadows its strength. Its candied fruit aromas, subtle and finely spiced nose meet a profound texture with lasting persistence. This simultaneously melting and powerful character offers undeniable modernity, whether it's enjoyed neat, on ice, or lengthened with a splash of water.
