Hennessy Cognac XO 375ml

Description

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)
