Hennessy XO Kim Jones Limited Edition Cognac (750 ml)
Description
The collaboration features a limited edition ‘ready-to-wear’ version of the masterpiece carafe specially imagined by Kim Jones. The Hennessy X.O Limited Edition, encased in an aluminum second skin, stays true to the iconic shape of Hennessy X.O while evoking a couture silhouette.
In 1870, Maurice Hennessy, a 4th-generation member of the Hennessy family, created a special cognac for his family and friends. This new style of long-aged, “Extra Old” cognac has become the original and emblematic icon of the Maison – a complex blend to transcend 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.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels. Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.
- Palate: The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit. A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt. There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate.
- Finish: 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.
