The ageing process distinguishes X.O from other Hennessy blends. The eaux-de-vie are aged for a minimum of 10 years in mainly French oak barrels. Absorbing tannins from the wood, the cognac develops a unique and satisfying character that is robust and rich, with incredible persistence. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, with a dash of water or in craft cocktails.

This is the original XO, the one that created the category. “From 12 to 30 years old, with an average of 12 years,” according to the brand ambassador. Reddish copper in color. The attractive fruity nose features notes of prune and dried cherry, along with honey and pepper. On the palate, it’s woody, and you get inklings of rancio, but the secondary notes are fresh and fruity, with date and prune, balancing the walnut and antique furniture varnish. Solid quality, but not particularly unique. (40% abv) — Jason Wilson, 1st September 2019
