The distillery
The distillery For over 250 years, Hennessy has cultivated and protected an invaluable heritage: the world's largest stock of eaux-de-vie, some of which have been resting in the Maison's historic cellars for over two centuries. Its longevity is ensured by the uninterrupted transmission of a steadfast expertise, embodied by eight generations of cellar masters who have succeeded one another since its inception, today represented by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde. Rigorous and expert selection, tailored maturation, and bespoke blending are the three pillars of the Maison, which is now present in over 160 countries, an undisputed market leader.
Spirits Conceived by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his close circle of friends, Cognac Hennessy XO stands out due to its precise balance, solidifying its status as a reference cognac. The meticulous selection of over a hundred eaux-de-vie that make up its blend is remarkably stringent: each one is chosen at the height of its potential, capturing the best of its age and terroir. Its deep and intense amber hue heralds its strength. Aromas of candied fruits, a subtle and finely spiced nose, meet a deep texture with enduring persistence. This character, both melting and potent, offers undeniable modernity, whether it's savored neat, on ice, or with a splash of water. Be quick to discover this limited edition created by Kim Jones, featuring a 'second skin' decanter made of aluminum.
Elaboration Composed of 100 eaux-de-vie, long aging.
