Hennessy XO Cognac 1 Liter 40%vol.

Hennessy is a cognac distillery located in Cognac (France). The process of making Cognac is lengthy and refined. The locally grown Ugni White grapes go through six important steps from the moment they are carefully picked from their vines to that first sip as an exceptional Cognac in your glass. A double distillation is required to produce cognac eau-de-vie. Approximately 12 kg of grapes are needed to obtain 1 liter of eau de vie. Eaux-de-vie and wood age together for years, exchanging flavors and colors. Each eau de vie requires years of work as well as rotation between different barrels to reach its full complexity.

Hennessy X.O was created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his friends and was the first X.O Cognac in the world: powerful, rich and complex. It consists of the blending of 100 eaux-de-vie aged between 10 to 30 years to give it its unparalleled robustness. Maurice Hennessy gave this "Extra Old" Cognac the name X.O.

Its intense, dark amber hue attests to strength, its aromatic harmony of candied fruits and subtle spices representing powerful roundness. On the palate, there is a gentle sense of fullness with a bouquet of both powerful and delicate nuances of chocolate and warm fruit.
