✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy XO Chinese New Year Limited Edition 2022 celebrates the Year of the Tiger with a striking bottle design created by the renowned artist Zhang Enli, symbolizing energy, vitality, and hope. The liquid inside is Hennessy's legendary Extra Old Cognac, a category first created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his private circle of friends. This historic blend is composed of over 100 eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from Cognac's premier crus, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. Double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and matured in toasted French Limousin oak casks, this robust spirit offers a complex sensory journey marked by notes of candied fruit, sweet spices, wild cocoa, and warm leather.
