Description
Hennessy XO Exclusive Collection 7 (VII) 2014 Tom Dixon Cognac
To mark the grand finale of Hennessy‘s 250-year anniversary marathon, the Cognac giant launched a special edition bottle of its Hennessy X.O Exclusive Collection. Designed by Tom Dixon, the unique Hennessy X.O Exclusive Collection 8 is a celebration of this classic Henessy masterpiece. The Cognac itself is an impressive age, that brings at least 30 years of age in its well-orchestrated blend of some 100 Eaux-de-vie. A beautiful modern twist on a Hennessy classic.
Renowned for crafting timeless pieces that are recreated into excellent editions, Hennessy is a house of sheer brilliance. Crafting Cognac’s for centuries, it’s a house that knows how to harmonize tradition and contemporary chic beautifully. Knowing what it takes to craft exceptional blends and package them into delights, the Exclusive Collection is an excellent example of all that this house embodies.
Presentation of the bottle
For the special edition, the British star designer got inspired by the magical qualities of crystal, diamonds, and precious stones. He chose a sparkling silver to create a relief-like surface for the bottle, to reproduce the sensation of these valuable minerals. Instantly capturing attention, this is a bottle that you are going to want to display, keep or gift to someone special.
How to enjoy
As an XO, this is a versatile piece that can be enjoyed in many ways. Try it on its own to savor the classic XO essence, or add ice for an extra punch.
About Hennessy Cognac
You may think, that with Hennessy’s ability to innovate and push boundaries, they are a thoroughly ‘modern’ Cognac brand. This is a large part of their immense success and influence. The very French brand based in the Charente region, in fact, dates all the way back to 1765 - to Ireland - but have managed to shapeshift enough times to remain more relevant than ever before - with current Master Blender Renaud Fillioux. Their range of uber-trendy products is ever expanding, and their marketing campaigns all the more captivating. There is no doubt that ‘Henny’ culture is alive and kicking: both Cognac and a fifth of Hennessy are mentioned in what seems like hundreds of songs.
