✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy XO Exclusive Collection 11 represents a striking fusion of avant-garde design and centuries-old blending heritage. Created in collaboration with the world-renowned industrial designer Marc Newson, this limited-edition release features a sleek, ribbed decanter that modernizes the iconic 1870 Hennessy XO bottle, using clean lines to dramatize the rich, copper tones of the spirit within. Inside the bottle is the legendary Hennessy XO blend, first pioneered by Maurice Hennessy for his inner circle of friends. It is a masterful assemblage of over one hundred eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from Cognac's premier crus, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. Aged for up to thirty years in seasoned French Limousin oak casks, this Cognac offers an incredibly complex sensory journey. It reveals a robust palate of candied fruit, wild cocoa, warm baking spices, and a persistent, velvety finish of black pepper and toasted oak.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og er i dag verdens førende cognachus med beliggenhed ved bredden af Charente-floden i Cognac. Husets uforlignelige kvalitet bygger på århundreders savoir-faire og et historisk, traditionsrigt samarbejde gennem flere generationer med Fillioux-familiens Master Blenders. Hennessy udvælger nøje Ugni Blanc-druer fra Cognacs fineste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois – som dobbeltdestilleres i traditionelle kobberkedler og efterfølgende modnes tålmodigt på fintporede franske egetræsfade. Huset er berømt for at sætte internationale standarder, og det ikoniske sortiment spænder fra den elegante VSOP Privilège og den oprindelige X.O, skabt i 1870, til enestående prestigeblandinger som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy.
