Hennessy is one of the oldest and most famous cognac houses in the world, renowned for its rich history and tradition in producing high-quality cognac. Founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irish officer in the service of the King of France, the company has been based in Cognac, France, since its inception.
The Hennessy X.O Kim Jones edition is a limited collaboration between Hennessy and British fashion designer Kim Jones, blending the worlds of high fashion and luxury cognac. This special edition highlights both Kim Jones's creative vision and the rich heritage of Hennessy X.O. Inspired by the way vintage Hennessy bottles were traditionally wrapped, Kim Jones designed the bottle to evoke a couture feel. The decanter, known as the Hennessy X.O Masterpiece, features a titanium casing that envelops the bottle in an architectural second skin, using 3D printing technology and hand finishing.
Nose:
Hennessy X.O offers a rich and robust aroma. Expect floral notes like jasmine and honeysuckle, complemented by strong undertones of red fruits and delicate spices. This aromatic complexity also includes subtle hints of honey and dried flowers, creating a deep and inviting olfactory experience.
Palate:
On the palate, Hennessy X.O is both graceful and structured. It reveals layers of honey, dried flowers, and truffles, which blend seamlessly with soft spices. Notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and preserved fruits emerge, further enriched by perfumes of dried rose petals and sweet briar jam. This medley of flavors provides a silky, yet rich taste profile that is both luxurious and well-balanced.
Finish:
The finish of Hennessy X.O is long, persistent, and flavorful, reflecting the quality of its blend. The finish brings forward a continuation of the spice and floral notes, ending with a warm and resonant conclusion that highlights the cognac's depth and craftsmanship.
