Hennessy X.O Cognac [1500ML]

Description

Looking for a cognac that represents nearly two centuries of French craftsmanship and innovation?

Hennessy X.O Cognac stands as the original Extra Old expression, created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 exclusively for family and close friends using precious aged reserves. For eight decades, Hennessy remained the sole producer of XO cognac, establishing the benchmark that others still chase today. This 1500ML presentation offers exceptional value for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Compare this flagship expression to the standard 1000ML bottle or explore the Hennessy V.S.O.P in 1500ML for a different aging profile.
