✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Spirit of Travel Singapore XO is a rare, travel-exclusive masterpiece that celebrates the historic connection between the legendary French Cognac house and the vibrant crossroads of Singapore. Since Hennessy's first shipments arrived in Southeast Asia in the 19th century, the brand has been deeply intertwined with the region's celebration of success and heritage. This special XO expression is meticulously crafted from a blend of up to 100 matured eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from Cognac's premier crus, including Grande Champagne and Borderies. Double-distilled in traditional copper alembic stills and aged for decades in French Limousin oak casks, this Cognac offers a sensory journey. It reveals a rich, velvety profile of candied fruits, warm baking spices, dried figs, and a signature hint of wild cocoa and black pepper, honoring both the art of blending and the spirit of global exploration.
🍾 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.
