✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, Maison Hennessy is the world's leading Cognac house, nestled along the banks of the Charente River in Cognac, France. The house's enduring excellence is rooted in centuries of savoir-faire and a historic multi-generational collaboration with the Fillioux family of Master Blenders. Utilizing meticulously selected Ugni Blanc grapes from Cognac's finest crus—including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—Hennessy double-distills in traditional copper pot stills before patient maturation in fine-grained French oak casks. Renowned for setting international benchmarks, its iconic range spans the elegant VSOP Privilège and the original X.O—pioneered in 1870—to exceptional prestige assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy.
