✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Spirit of Travel Macau XO is a rare and evocative tribute to Macau's rich heritage as a historic crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures. This exclusive release showcases the legendary Hennessy XO blend, originally created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his close circle of friends. Crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced across Cognac's premier crus, the eaux-de-vie undergo traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills before a lengthy maturation in French Limousin oak casks. The resulting spirit is a complex tapestry of robust flavors, featuring deep notes of candied fruit, wild cocoa, and warm baking spices, wrapped in a presentation that celebrates the historic architecture and maritime legacy of Macau.
🍾 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.
