Hennessy XO Cognac 750ml

Type: Brandy
Vendor: Hennessy

Description:

The original 'extra-old' cognac, first bottled in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for family and friends. Darker and much more complex than the VSOP, with appealing leather and tobacco notes and a touch of spice – a great cigar Cognac.

Producer's Tasting Notes

  • NOSE

    The first wave, rich in dried-fruit aromas such as prunes and dried figs overcomes you. The aromas evolve to more dense notes of chocolate and black pepper, mellowed by cinnamon, clove and cardamom.

  • PALATE

    Very balanced on the palate, XO confirms the aromas discovered by scent: dried fruit and chocolate. Elegant and robust, it reveals balance, roundness and harmony among aromas underlined by the strength of peppery notes and vegetable fragrances from the oak.

  • FINISH

    A lovely long aftertaste is enrobed in velvet, conferring the last sweet notes of cinnamon and vanilla.
