Product Info
This product is available in the United States exclusively through duty-free (travel retail). Hennessy X.X.O Cognac was first created in 1870 by Master Blender Émile Fillioux, who set aside a selection of varietals with high potential, alongside Hennessy X.O. The resulting varietal was so significant that it was released worldwide in 1871. Building on the family's expertise, seventh-generation Master Blender Yann Fillioux decided to recreate Hennessy X.X.O in 2018. Hennessy X.X.O ushers in a new era in the world of spirits, bridging the duality of powerful structure and airy delicacy. This pioneering flavor unites opposing forces in a single composition. By tasting a glass of Hennessy X.X.O Cognac, you will enter a light structure that will open up new flavor perspectives. Carefully pour 4cl into a tumbler. Take your time to observe and appreciate all the shades of the blend. Bring it close to your nose without inhaling too abruptly and discover its captivating aromas. Savor the first sip of richness. Sit back and relax, and enjoy the end of a long day. Now, with another sip, you can continue exploring the flavors of Cognac. It possesses the rich and expressive aromas characteristic of its pioneers. The long finish, a rare Cognac hallmark, is further enhanced by the delightful nuances of spicy complexity. The aroma ranges from vegetal to spicy, and includes notes of bitter orange, freshly ground nutmeg, licorice root, dried peppermint leaves, and delicate spices.
