Hennessy Extra Old was created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for the private use of the Hennessy family. It is blended from more than 100 eaux-de-vie, the oldest aged almost forty year specially selected from the four first growing areas of Cognac.

Rich, full-bodied and complex, Hennessy X·O combines the spicy aromas of oak and leather with the sweeter essences of flowers and ripe fruit. Well-balanced, the initial flourish is dominated by the powerful suggestion of pepper and rancio, which testify to the long years it has spent being aged.
