✨ 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 ved Charente-flodens bredder af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og har lige siden defineret den moderne cognacs prestige og identitet. Huset henter primært Ugni Blanc-druer fra regionens fremmeste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois. Her sikrer den kalkrige undergrund og det tempererede, maritime mikroklima grundvine med en markant, spændstig syre. Efter traditionel dobbeltdestillation på bærmen i klassiske Charentais-kobberkedler modner de unge eaux-de-vie på finkornede franske egetræsfade fra Tronçais og Limousin, fordelt mellem både fugtige og tørre lagringskældre. Den minutiøse blanding varetages i dag af Renaud Fillioux de Gironde og husets velrenommerede smagekomité som ottende generation i Fillioux-dynastiet. Lige fra referenceaftapninger som V.S.O.P Privilège og X.O til mesterlige prestigeblend som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy inkarnerer huset en enestående renhed, struktur og århundreders uovertrufne blendingekspertise.
