Hennessy XO Cognac Gift Boxed 70cl

Hennessy XO Cognac

A historic expression first created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy, marking the introduction of the “Extra Old” style of Cognac. Crafted from a carefully selected blend of around 100 eaux-de-vie, some aged for up to 30 years in French oak, it represents one of the most influential XO Cognacs ever produced.

Designed for depth and complexity, Hennessy XO balances long maturation with structure and richness, offering a multi-layered interpretation of aged Cognac.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Deep amber with mahogany highlights.
• Nose: Candied fruit, warm spice, subtle floral notes and refined oak.
• Palate: Full-bodied and smooth with cocoa, dried fruit and gentle nutty richness.
• Finish: Long, structured and elegant with harmonious spice, fruit and oak integration.
