Hennessy X.X.O Hors d'Age is a modern re-iteration of Hennessy X.O. It is more mature as it carries the denomination Hors d'Age.
Some quoted voices describe the Cognac made by Hennessy’s master blender “pertinent as ever”, “rich”, “expressive”, with “notes of bitter orange and freshly grated nutmeg, liquorice, peppermint leaf and delicate spices.”
We are waiting for exact information about this Cognac, but we assume that it be at around 40% ABV, would come in a 70cl bottle and would be a blend of different eaux-de-vie.
Tasted along with the XO, the XXO is clearly superior in every measure! The finest cognac I have tasted!
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.
