About the brand of Hennessy Cognac Shop

XO Hennessy Cognac, Since its founding in 1765, Hennessy has been guided by a passion to craft the world’s finest Cognacs – our drive to Never stop. Never settle. Composed of 7 members including the Master Blender, the Committee tastes, rates and selects the eaux-de-vie that will eventually be blended into Hennessy Cognacs.

The oak used to make our barrels comes exclusively from the Limousin forest in France, which provides the correct maturation for our Cognac. Hennessy’s eaux-de-vie differ from one year to the next due to weather patterns.

Nevertheless, the Master Blender, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde is charged with faithfully repeating the unique taste of Hennessy Cognacs year after year, uncompromising on quality.

XO Hennessy Cognac is crafted with a strict set of standards defined by the Master Blender and handed down from generation to generation. However, when it comes to enjoying Cognac, we haven’t followed any rules since 1765.

You may think, that with Hennessy’s ability to innovate and push boundaries, they are a thoroughly ‘modern’ Cognac brand. This is a large part of their immense success and influence.

The very French brand based in the Charente region, in fact, dates all the way back to 1765 – to Ireland – but have managed to shapeshift enough times to remain more relevant than ever before – with current Master Blender Renaud Fillioux.

Their range of uber-trendy products is ever expanding, and their marketing campaigns all the more captivating. There is no doubt that ‘Henny’ culture is alive and kicking: both Cognac and a fifth of Hennessy are mentioned in what seems like hundreds of songs.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE: The first wave, rich in dried-fruit aromas such as prunes and dried figs overcomes you. The aromas evolve to more dense notes of chocolate and black pepper, mellowed by cinnamon, clove and cardamom.
TASTE: Very balanced on the palate, XO confirms the aromas discovered by scent: dried fruit and chocolate. Elegant and robust, it reveals balance, roundness and harmony among aromas underlined by the strength of peppery notes and vegetable fragrances from the oak.
FINISH: A lovely long after Taste is enrobed in velvet, conferring the last sweet notes of cinnamon and vanilla.
Blended with over 100 eaux-de-vie from a recipe dating back to 1870, Hennessy X.O. Cognac is the Cadillac of the cognac world. The X.O. namesake stands for extra old due to the extensive aging process, which lasts up to 30 years.
