The Hennessy XO decanter, a sumptuous and curvaceous carafe, has come to be one of the most recognizable elements of a Cognac from this world-famous estate. It has been reinvented time and time again since 1870 across the various limited editions of this classic blend. It is sure to take pride of place in your drinks cabinet, and is certainly a talking point to enjoy among family and friends.
Tasting Notes
 |
NOSE A powerful and woody blend, with spicy aromas which are complex, but remain rounded. Figs and plums come to mind. |
 |
PALATE This rich Cognac brings together oak and leather, with slightly sweet notes of flower and fruit. A well balanced work, with a good sense of pepper and rancio. A masculine XO. |
 |
FINISH Long finish expresses all the complexity of the cognac’s blending and its long aging process. |
 |
OVERALL An interesting Cognac. Quite sour on the nose, and then fairly explodes on first taste - mellowing after the first hit. Aftertaste is long, becoming rounder and more mellow as it evolves. |
