✨ Technical Specifications
This exclusive release represents a striking collaboration between the historic house of Hennessy and the acclaimed British designer Tom Dixon. Released as part of the Hennessy X.O Exclusive Collection, the "Gold Rush" edition features a contemporary, tessellated carafe finished in a brilliant copper-gold sheen, mimicking the raw geological beauty of crystals and gold ore. Inside this avant-garde bottle is the classic Hennessy X.O blend, first created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his inner circle of friends. This legendary Cognac is a masterful assemblage of over one hundred eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years in French Limousin oak casks. The grapes, predominantly Ugni Blanc, are harvested from the premier crus of the Cognac region, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. The resulting spirit is celebrated for its deep amber hue, robust structure, and complex layers of candied fruit, wild cocoa, and warm baking spices.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy along the banks of the Charente River, Maison Hennessy has defined the architecture and prestige of modern Cognac. Sourcing primarily Ugni Blanc across the region's elite crus—notably Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—the house relies on chalk-dense, limestone-rich soils and a temperate maritime microclimate to achieve base wines of searing natural acidity. Double-distilled on the lees in traditional Charentais copper pot stills, the unaged eaux-de-vie mature inside fine-grained French Tronçais and Limousin oak casks, orchestrated through humid and dry aging cellars. The blending process has been shepherded across eight generations of the Fillioux dynasty, overseen today by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde and the venerated Tasting Committee. From benchmark bottlings such as V.S.O.P Privilège and X.O to crowning legacy assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy, the house embodies exceptional purity, structure, and centuries of architectural blending finesse.
