Tasting review
No tasting notes on this XO, but probably the content (the cognac) is the same as in the Original XO.
Description
To mark the grand finale of Hennessy‘s 250-year anniversary marathon, the Cognac giant launches a special edition bottle of its Hennessy X.O Exclusive Collection by British designer, Tom Dixon: Hennessy X.O Exclusive Collection 9.
For the special edition, the star designer was 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.
