✨ Tekniske specifikationer
In an extraordinary intersection of haute couture and centuries-old spirits heritage, Hennessy partnered with legendary fashion designer Kim Jones to create a striking, limited-edition presentation of the iconic Hennessy X.O. First created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his inner circle, X.O (Extra Old) established a global standard for aged Cognac. This expression is crafted from a masterfully curated blend of over one hundred eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested across the premier crus of the Cognac region, including Grande and Petite Champagne. Aged for up to several decades in French Limousin oak casks, the spirit develops a deep amber hue and a complex aromatic profile. Kim Jones honors this legacy by wrapping the decanter in a sleek, structural second skin of aluminum, evoking both the draping of couture fabric and the protective nature of the historic cellars. The liquid inside remains the classic, powerful Hennessy X.O, showcasing layers of candied fruit, sweet spices, cocoa, and a robust, peppery finish.
🍾 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.
