Cognac XO Hennessy Carafe baccarat (no reserve)
The wine
This old Cognac is made from around 100 long-aged eaux-de-vie, hence the complexity of its aromas. Its deep, amber colour with its beautiful hints of gold exude a gentle spiciness in perfect harmony with its notes of candied fruit. Its silky and ample mouthfeel lines the palate with touches of chocolate and sweet fruits. Its long finish is proof of the quality of its blend and its maturation. To be served straight, on the rocks, or allongé with a dash of sparkling or still water.
About the Producer Hennessy
Created in 1765, the Hennessy brand was born of the vision of one man, Richard Hennessy. An Irish officer enlisted in Louis XV's army, Hennessy very quickly saw cognac's potential on the international market. He set up his own bottling business and founded a dynasty that would span eight generations. Hennessy soon acquired a reputation for exceptional cognacs and the appellations it created were used by all of the other cognac brands, including Very Old Superior Old Pale (VSOP) and Extra Old (XO). In 250 years Hennessy has remained the world leader in cognac.
