Hennessy XO - #1 of Top XO Cognac Brands

Hennessy XO

First crafted in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy, X.O was a bolder, richer, more complex type of cognac, the 100 eaux-de-vie gathered together to create it having been aged as many as 30 years. Its rich, warm amber hue is indicative of its boldness, a harmonious marriage of sweet, candied fruit and a nuanced, delicately spiced nose; a hallmark of its excellence. To the mouth, a lush, plentiful sensation gives a concurrently strong, yet delicate tonality, with a sweet, fruity aroma and just a whisper of cocoa. The finish embodies all of the intricacies of this cognac's crafting, and lengthy aging process. Both profound and dominant at the same time, X.O's personality tantalizes those aficionados of exceptional cognacs who can appreciate its unquestionable innovation, while continuing to reveal its multifaceted layers of taste. This spirit is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with a touch of plain, or sparking water.
