Originally created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy using very old eaux-de-vie, Hennessy X.O was reserved exclusively for his family and friends. Hennessy X.O has always embodied the finest traditions of Hennessy cognac. Hennessy X.O is blended from more than 100 eaux-de-vie specially selected from the four premier growing areas. Some of the eaux-de-vie used in the blend have been ageing in the Hennessy warehouses since the early part of this century. Rich, full-bodied and complex, X.O combines the spicy aromas of oak and leather with the sweeter essences of flowers and ripe fruit. Well-balanced, the initial flourish is dominated by the powerful suggestion of pepper and rancio, which testify to the long years it has spent being aged. Complex and long-lasting.
