hennessy xo kim jones cognac 750ml

The Hennessy X.O x Kim Jones Limited Edition collaboration features a limited edition ‘ready-to-wear’ version of the carafe specially imagined by Kim Jones. The Hennessy X.O bottle, encased in an aluminum second skin, is an elegant representation of fashion, culture, and the excellence of this iconic blend. 

Through the lens of contemporary design, Kim Jones reinterprets the brand’s 150-year history whilst protecting the complex art form passed down through eight generations of master blenders.

“I looked at this the same way as I would approach a collection and making clothing. The decanter being the vessel and building around it.” – Kim Jones

In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac.  Hennessy X.O is the Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison. The eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.O cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time.

Deep and powerful, with a balanced structure, Hennessy X.O promises an intriguing sensation on the palate. With each drop, an invitation to embark on a journey of the senses through the seven tasting notes.

Seven Tasting Notes

Sweet: The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit.

Rising Heat: The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels.

Spicy Edge: Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.

Flowing Flames: A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt.

Chocolate Lull: There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate.

Wood Crunches: A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla.

Infinite Echo: The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.
