Hennessy X.O. is rich, full-bodied, complex, and has always embodied the finest traditions of Hennessy cognac. Originally created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy using very old eaux-de-vie, XO was reserved exclusively for his family and friends. XO is blended from more than 100 eaux-de-vie specially selected from the four premier growing areas. Some of the eaux-de-vie used in the blend have been ageing in the Hennessy warehouses since the early part of this century.
Launched in 2009, the Hennessy X.O. Exclusive Edition No.2, named 'Iridesence', is fitted with Swarovski crystals in a grape fruit bunch layout, showcasing the classic spirit contained in the bottle.
