Hennessy XO 750ml

In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac. Hennessy X.O is the Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison. Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.O cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time. SWEET NOTES: The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit. RISING HEAT:The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels. SPICY EDGE: Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate. FLOWING FLAMES: A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt. CHOCOLATE LULL: There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate. WOOD CRUNCHES: A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla. INFINITE ECHO: The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.
