Emile Smits

The eaux-de-vie of Hennessy XXO Cognac were carefully set aside and preserved in French oak casks by the cellar master several generations ago to create a reserve with promising potential.

The decanter has been specially modified by an artist designer to pay homage to two families: that of the founder Hennessy and that of the Maison's cellar masters.

It was at the same time as the XO cuvée that Hennessy X.X.O. was born, in 1870.
Master blender Emile Fillioux had decided to reserve eaux-de-vie with promising potential.

The result was so surprising that this discovery went around the world.
Thanks to the house's records, several shipments were made all over the world, including to the USA, China and Germany a few years after its creation.

It was in 2018 when the 7th generation of Cellar Masters represented by Yann Fillioux and after 50 years of career in the Hennessy house, that the X.X.O. cuvée saw the light of day again.  The cognac Hennessy X.X.O was first created in 1870 alongside Hennessy X.O, when Master Blender Emile Fillioux set aside eaux-de-vie with great potential. 
The result was such a significant find that it was launched around the world, starting in 1871. With the savoir-faire inherited by his family, Yann Fillioux, 7th generation of Master Blender, decided to re-create the Hennessy X.X.O in 2018.  Hennessy X.X.O opens a new era within the world of spirits, an edge bridging duality: a powerful structure meets an aerial fineness. 

Its visionary taste assembles opposite forces into one composition. By tasting a glass of Hennessy X.X.O cognac, you will enter an aerial structure that opens yourself to a new perspective of tastes. 
Delicately pour 4 cl in a tumbler glass. 

Take time to observe and appreciate all the tones of the blend. Bring it closer to your nose, without inhaling too abruptly, and discover the heady perfumes. Take the opening sip of a rich tasting. Relax in a comfortable chair, and let your long day unfold. You can now continue to explore the cognac taste with another sip.  
It has the rich, expressive nose that is the hallmark of a visionary. 

The long finish characteristic of rare cognacs is highlighted by a delightful nuance of spicy complexity. Its aromatic landscape ranges from vegetal to spicy, with notes of bitter orange and freshly grated nutmeg, licorice stick, dried peppermint leaf and delicate spices.  
TASTING:

-Nose: The rich and expressive nose develops complex aromatic landscape of tones ranging from vegetal to spicy: bitter orange and freshly grated nutmeg, licorice stick, dried peppermint leaf and delicate spices.

-Palate: The palate enters an atmosphere of subtle tasting notes embodied in a strong structure. While expressing its power, Hennessy X.X.O also possesses a great fineness, with its wonderful persistence on the finish highlighted by a delightful nuance of spicy complexity.
