Hennessy XXO - Cognac XXO

Description

The eaux-de-vie of Cognac Hennessy XXO were carefully set aside and preserved in French oak barrels by the master blender several generations ago to make a reserve with promising potential. The decanter has been specially modified by an artist designer to pay tribute to two families : the family of the founder Hennessy and the Maison's cellar masters. It was at the same time as cuvée XO that Hennessy X.X.O was born in 1870.  The master blender Emile Fillioux had decided to set aside eaux-de-vie with promising potential. The result was so astonishing that this discovery was shared around the world.  Thanks to the house's registers, several shipments took place around the world such as to the USA, CHine or Germany a few years after its creation.  It was in 2018 that the 7th generation of Master Fitters represented by Yann Fillioux and after a 50-year career with the house Hennessy, that the cuvée X.X.O was born again.   The color is Cuban mahogany amber. With a complex aromatic palette, X.X.O develops herbal and spicy notes such as bitter orange, freshly grated nutmeg, licorice stick and dried peppermint leaves.  The palate is robustly counterbalanced by subtle, delicate aromas.
