This is the original XO, the one that created the category. “From 12 to 30 years old, with an average of 12 years,” according to the brand ambassador. Reddish copper in color. The attractive fruity nose features notes of prune and dried cherry, along with honey and pepper. On the palate, it’s woody, and you get inklings of rancio, but the secondary notes are fresh and fruity, with date and prune, balancing the walnut and antique furniture varnish. Solid quality, but not particularly unique. (40% abv) ... More details

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. - 2017 ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE

TOP 100 SPIRITS 2015. 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.
Winery
In 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.
