Hennessy XXO Cognac 1L

Hennessy X.X.O Cognac represents an edge bridging duality in the world of spirits: a powerful structure meets an aerial fineness.
Hennessy X.X.O was first created in 1870 alongside Hennessy X.O, when Master Blender Emile Fillioux set aside eaux-de-vie with great potential. The result was such a significant find that it was launched around the world, starting in 1871. With the savoir-faire inherited by his family, Yann Fillioux, 7th generation of Master Blender, decided to re-create the Hennessy X.X.O in 2018.

    Nose:    The rich and expressive nose develops complex aromatic landscape of tones ranging from vegetal to spicy: bitter orange and freshly grated nutmeg, liquorice stick, dried peppermint leaf and delicate spices.

    Taste:    The palate enters an atmosphere of subtle tasting notes embodied in a strong structure.

    Finish:    Wonderful persistence on the finish highlighted by a delightful nuance of spicy complexity.

The Hennessy Cognac house was founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irish man who had previously served as an officer in the army of Louis XV. Hennessy became the world's leading exporter of brandy in the 1840s, a status it has never lost. It was one of the first marques to sell bottles rather than casks of cognac and the first cognac house to use star ratings, and the gradings V.S.O.P. and XO, which are today used by most other cognac producers.
Hennessy has a long-established tradition. For nearly 200 years, the Hennessy family has entrusted the Fillioux family with its cognacs. This lineage has remained unbroken for two centuries, with eight generations of Master Blenders.
Today, there are thousands of different eaux-de-vie in Hennessy’s cellars. The Hennessy reserve is one of the largest collections of eaux-de-vie in the world, with over 350,000 barrels stored in 65 cellars. This inventory is the legacy of Hennessy’s predecessors, which they have treasured for over 200 years.
