Hennessy X.O Cognac – The Original Extra Old Blend | 40% ABV | France
The Original Extra Old Cognac Since 1870
Hennessy X.O is not just a cognac; it is the original “Extra Old” (X.O) blend that defined an entire category. Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his close circle of family and friends, it introduced a bold new style of cognac to the world. Today, it remains an iconic symbol of luxury and craftsmanship.
This prestigious blend is composed of over 100 different eaux-de-vie (life waters), some aged for up to 30 years in fine French Limousin oak barrels. The eaux-de-vie are sourced from the four premier growing regions of Cognac: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois.
The result is a cognac of immense power, depth, and richness that is smooth yet complex, delicate but strong. The tasting experience is often described as a “sensory journey” revealing “seven chapters” of flavor, from sweet fruit to spicy oak. It has earned numerous accolades, including a Gold Medal at the 2023 L.A. Spirits Awards and 96 points from Falstaff Magazine.

-
Savory: Duck confit, foie gras, roasted mushrooms, or a well-marbled steak

🧴 Storage & Shelf Life
-
Unopened bottle: Indefinite shelf life when stored upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. An unopened bottle of cognac does not expire or “go bad.”
-
Once opened: Consume within 12–24 months for optimal flavor. Replace the cork firmly after each use. The flavor will remain stable for several months but may slowly decline after the bottle is half-empty due to oxidation.
-
Serving temperature: Best at room temperature (63–68°F / 17–20°C).
