Hennessy X.X.O was first created in 1870 alongside Hennessy X.O, when the master blender Emile Fillioux set aside eaux-de-vie with great potential. Hennessy X.X.O unites the inherent duality of opposite forces. It has the rich, expressive nose that is the hallmark of a visionary. The long finish characteristic of rare cognac is highlighted nuance of spicy complexity. Its aromatic landscape ranges from vegetal to spicy, with notes of bitter orange and freshly grated nutmeg, licorice stick, dried peppermint leaf and delicate spices.
