Hennessy X.O is a blend of around one hundred “eaux-de-vie” from Cognac’s finest growing regions, carefully matured in our cellars. Hennessy X.O can be served neat, but is also often enjoyed “on the rocks”: a great tasting experience. “When I add ice to my X.O, this immediately releases the subtle flavors and aromas of this magnificent cognac”, says Mr. Gilles Hennessy, 7th generation of the legendary Cognac family.Its intense and deep amber color is a sign of its strength. Its flavors of candied fruit and its subtle and lightly spicy nose create a complete harmony: a mark of its roundness. To taste, a smooth, full sensation gives a simultaneously powerful and soft tonality with a hint of cocoa and a warm fruity presence. The long finish expresses all the complexity of the cognac’s blending and its long aging process.

The deep fig and raisin aromas hint that the palate will be equally deep and dark. Bold toffee, cocoa, fig and gingerbread round into a spiced, brisk finish. Consider as a dessert pairing.
