Heritage
Hennessy XO Cognac (50 ml x 10-Pack) brings the timeless elegance of one of the world’s most prestigious cognacs in a convenient collector’s format. Originally created in 1870 for Maurice Hennessy’s circle of close friends, XO (Extra Old) is a masterful blend of over 100 eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years, sourced exclusively from the finest crus of the Cognac region.
Each miniature bottle preserves the deep mahogany color, layered aroma, and luxurious texture that define Hennessy XO. Designed for connoisseurs who appreciate refinement in every detail, this 10-pack offers a portable way to experience the sophistication, heritage, and artistry that have made Hennessy a global symbol of excellence.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes Deep, opulent XO with layers of dried fig, date, and black raisin over candied orange peel, apricot compote, and honeyed rancio. Polished oak frames swirls of cocoa, espresso, and baking spice (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg), plus roasted walnut and a hint of leather. The palate is satin-rich and warming, gliding to a long finish of dark chocolate, orange oil, sweet tobacco leaf, and toasted oak.
Food Pairings Superb after dinner with 70–85% dark chocolate, orange–almond tart, pecan pie, or crème brûlée; a few roasted nuts and dried fruits are flawless. For savory pairings, think duck à l’orange, lamb tagine with apricot, chicken liver pâté, or mushroom risotto. Salty, characterful cheeses—aged Comté, Parmigiano Reggiano, or blue—tighten the sweetness and let the spice and rancio glow.
Craftsmanship
Hennessy is one of the most esteemed names in Cognac — a house that embodies tradition, mastery, and prestige in every bottle. Founded in 1765, the brand has built a legacy over centuries, always emphasizing craft, consistency, and innovation in blending.
The “XO” (Extra Old) designation is one of Hennessy’s hallmarks, representing a deep reserve of eaux-de-vie matured for decades in French oak. It showcases the brand’s blending prowess: combining over 100 carefully selected components to achieve complexity, balance, and depth.
With its stature, Hennessy is both a benchmark and an ambassador: its releases are often associated with special occasions, collector editions, and cultural influence. Yet behind the grandeur is a dedication to nuance — sourcing from multiple crus, nurturing wood relationships, and balancing youth and age to keep their signature style alive.
Put simply: Hennessy is more than a cognac house — it’s a lineage, a standard, and a continual conversation between history and creativity.
