Hennessy XO Cognac
| Description: | Hennessy Xo Extra Old Cognac Pint 750 Ml I n 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.o for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac. Hennessy X.o is the Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison. Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.o cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time. Our Tasting Committee has explored every facet of the blend and identified several emotions that were assimilated to an Odyssey through 7 chapters:. Sweet Notes: The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit. Rising Heat: The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels. Spicy Edge: Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate. Flowing Flame: A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt. Chocolate Lull: There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate. Wood Crunches: A striking sensation is suddenly felt the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla. Infinite Echo: The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it. Wine Enthusiast 93 points - The deep fig and raisin aromas hint that the palate will be equally deep and dark. Bold toffee, cocoa, fig and gingerbread round into a spiced, brisk finish. Consider as a dessert pairing.Kara Newman, December/2015. Ultimate Beverage Challenge 96 points - Figgy pudding and date syrup are sweet but not cloying on the nose. The flavors are soft and subtle, layered with baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Baked apples and a mild nuttiness characterize the finish.March/2017. Created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his circle of friends, X.o was born at a turning point in history and introduced a new style of cognac: bold, rich and complex. The 100 eaux-de-vie assembled to create X.o were aged for a long time - some for 30 years - to give an unparalleled robustness. |
