Hennessy XO Cognac

Created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his circle of friends. XO (Extra Old) was born at a turning point in history and introduced a new style of cognac. Bold, rich and complex.

• Its intense and deep amber colour is a sign of its strength. Its flavours 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 cognac's blending and its long ageing process

The 100 eaux-de-vie assembled to create XO were aged for a long time some for 30 years to give an unparalleled robustness. Maurice Hennessy gave the name XO to this unique extra old cognac.

At once deep and powerful, its character seduces connoisseurs, who appreciate its undeniable modernity and constant revelation of layers of flavours. Whether tasted neat, on ice or with a splash of still or sparkling water.
