The Extra Old classification of the Hennessy X.O is an important legacy. This rich, fragrant aged cognac was one of the first in the industry to bear the X.O label thanks to Maurice Hennessys vision.

Master Blender Emile Fillioux created it together with Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for the latters inner circle of friends to enjoy on special occasions. While people like to drink Hennessy X.O all over the world, its initial purpose was more intimate.

Back when cognac was sold in traditional Charentaise bottles, Maurice Hennessys nephew was charged with creating a cut-glass decanter worthy of Hennessy X.Os exquisite contents. Todays contours still pay tribute to the first pioneering, highly disruptive design. Artists at the top of their fields are regularly asked to reinterpret this special cognac decanter for limited edition releases. No rules, no limits. These collaborations ignore boundaries the same way X.O itself has always done.

Every drop of Hennessy X.O is an organoleptic odyssey. As an experienced cognac drinker, this will hardly surprise you.
