Hennessy XO

The 100 eaux-de-vie assembled to create X.O were aged for a long time – at least 12 years – to givean unparalleled, robustness.

Tasting Notes: Initial notes of fresh toast with roasted almond and brown sugar are followed and complemented by a second wave of more subtle vine fruit aromas. Its aromatic intensity is reflected in a rich, creamy palate, which brings an added dimension of vanilla, all rounded off by an exuberantly fresh and floral finish.

Recommended classic food pairings:
Cheese: The creamy, salty flavours of cheese perfectly complement the warm, caramel notes of cognac.
Pair a bold, aged cheddar with a glass of VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) cognac, or try a soft, creamy brie with a glass of XO (Extra Old) cognac.
Other types of cheese: Blue cheese, Gouda, and Parmesan.

Meat: Grilled steak or a juicy pork chop with a glass of VSOP or XO cognac. For a unique twist, try pairing a spicy sausage or chorizo with a glass of VSOP cognac, which will bring out the meat’s smoky, spicy flavours.
