Description
The cognac Hennessy X.X.O was first created in 1870 alongside with Hennessy X.O, when the Master Blender Emile Fillioux set aside eaux de vie with great potential. The result was such a significant find that it has been launched around the world, starting in 1871. With the savoir faire inherited by his family, Yann Fillioux , 7th generation of Master Blender, decided to recreate the Hennessy X.X.O in 2018. Hennessy X.X.O opens a new era within the world of spirits, an edge bridging duality: a powerful structure meets an aerial fineness. Its visionary taste assembles opposite forces in one composition. By tasting a glass of Hennessy X.X.O cognac, you will enter an aerial structure that opens yourself to a new perspective of tastes. Delicately pour 4cl in a tumbler glass. Take time to observe and appreciate all the tones of the blend. Bring it closer to your nose, without inhaling too abruptly, and discover the heady perfumes. Take the opening sip of a rich degustation. Relax in a comfortable chair, and let your long day unfold. You can now continue the exploration of the cognac taste with another sip. It has the rich, expressive nose that is the hallmark of a visionary. The long finish characteristic of rare cognacs is highlighted by a delightful nuance of spicy complexity. Its aromatic landscape ranges from vegetal to spicy, with notes of bitter orange and freshly grated nutmeg, licorice stick, dried peppermint leaf and delicate spices.

Key Selling Points
Blended from a rich tapestry of Hennessy’s finest spirits, Hennessy X.X.O is an even more mature development of its X.O cognac. The oldest official rating a cognac can hold, X.X.O stands for ‘extra, extra old’, and is a relatively new category that was officially added to the description of cognac ages in 2018. The minimum length of ageing to qualify for X.X.O status is 14 years. This elegant blend, however, contains some highly aromatic and refined spirits that have been aged in French oak barrels for more than 50 years.
