Full-Bodied, Richly Complex Cognac with a Lasting Finish

This Extra Old (XO) Cognac has maintained its original character since being crafted over a century ago. It is a blend of approximately 100 eaux-de-vie, each absorbing significant tannins from the wood, resulting in a Cognac that is full-bodied and richly complex, with a lasting finish. Aged for at least 10 years in French oak barrels, the eaux-de-vie gain depth and structure from the wood, developing a robust and satisfying flavour profile that lingers on the palate.

Powerful, rich aromas of wild cocoa softened by notes of dried and preserved fruits. Spicy notes towards the end. Fine palate of rich texture, rounded and pleasing. Chocolatey hint and an all-encompassing overtone of fruitiness.

• Blended from about 100 eux-de-vie
• Extra Old (XO) Cognac

Pairing: Enjoy neat, on the rocks

STORY BEHIND THE LABEL

In 1971, Hennessy merged with Moët & Chandon, creating the Moët-Hennessy group. A second merger in 1987 with Louis Vuitton bore today’s luxury super-brand – Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy. Hennessy cognac is now a symbol of luxury.

Maison Hennessy stands on the banks of the Charente river in France, with arm and hatchet standing as its coat of arms, referring to Richard Hennessy’s history with the French Army. To make their Cognac, they select eaux-de-vie from only four of the region’s crus - Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois. Over 300,000 casks rest in their cellars, and hold some of the oldest Cognac around, stretching as far back as 1800.
