The cognac Hennessy X.O was created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his family and friends. Hennessy X.O is the Original, the emblematic icon of the House. Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this X.O cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power, energy, and capacity to acheive a great roundness through time. This cognac can only be described as beautifully well-balanced with sweet notes, inviting warmth, a spicy edge, chocolate lull, and woody vanilla crunches.
