Product details

In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy XO for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac. Hennessy XO is the Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison. Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy XO 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.

Tasting notes

The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit. The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels. Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.

X JULIEN COLOMBIER

Julien Colombier’s condensed small works for the Hennessy's Limited Edition cognac bottles are hypnotic, like something you want to touch, hoping that a door to that luscious nature will open and transport you to a parallel universe. The artists that get under your skin are humble. Blithely, they acknowledge the immense richness of what they take from others in order to sustain who they are – head first they face that blank canvas and fill it with the ideas on their mind. In Julien Colombier’s case – a self-taught painter from Paris, with a profound love for chalk – that blank canvas is a black canvas. With a steady hand, Colombier creates vibrant shapes. What is especially compelling is the way that he builds up a painting’s surface with the right amount of illustration, vivacity, and recognition. In his collaboration with Maison Hennessy, the design spotted on the Limited Edition cognac bottles is of petite measures, and the relative smallness of the illustrations underscores not only its density but the way that it seems to move beyond the frame, like a dream that stays with you long after you wake up.
