Hennessy X.O [1000ML]

Description

What defines a cognac so exceptional that it created an entirely new category in 1870?

The Hennessy X.O stands as the original Extra Old cognac, crafted by Maurice Hennessy as a revolutionary blend that would set the gold standard for premium spirits worldwide. This masterpiece harmoniously marries over 100 carefully selected eaux-de-vie, some aged up to 30 years, creating a complexity that has captivated connoisseurs for over 150 years.
