Hennessy Cognac XO Extra Old - With gift box
Hennessy X.O was born in 1870 thanks to the common vision of Maurice Hennessy, the fourth generation to run Maison Hennessy, and Émile Fillioux, representative of the third generation of Master Blenders. In the middle of the 19th century, they sought to develop the demanding art of blending eaux-de-vie and decided to develop a new, rich and complex blend, which they named "Extra Old", one of the first cognacs in this category.
Hennessy X.O offers a deep amber colour with mahogany reflections, subtle candied fruit aromas and finely spicy notes. On the palate, its unctuous texture reveals nuances of cocoa and woody notes, prolonged by a persistent finish.
