Hennessy XO (Extra Old) is a prestigious and full-bodied Cognac, crafted from over 100 eaux-de-vie, aged for a minimum of 10 years in French oak barrels. First created in 1870, it is known for its rich, deep complexity and luxurious mouthfeel. Bottled at 40% ABV, Hennessy XO delivers layers of dried fruit, spice, oak, and dark chocolate, making it an indulgent and sophisticated choice for Cognac lovers.
Nose: Rich and inviting with notes of dried figs, prunes, cinnamon, and cocoa, followed by hints of toasted oak and leather.
Palate: Velvety and complex, featuring dates, dark chocolate, nutmeg, and caramelised nuts, balanced by a touch of black pepper and warm spice.
Finish: Long and lingering, with notes of espresso, tobacco, and deep oak spice, leaving a smooth yet intense warmth.
Hennessy XO’s bold, oaky, and spicy profile pairs best with a full-bodied cigar that offers rich tobacco, dark chocolate, and espresso-like notes.
