The original 'extra-old' cognac, first bottled in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for family and friends. Darker and much more complex than the VSOP, with appealing leather and tobacco notes and a touch of spice – a great cigar Cognac.
The first wave, rich in dried-fruit aromas such as prunes and dried figs overcomes you. The aromas evolve to more dense notes of chocolate and black pepper, mellowed by cinnamon, clove and cardamom.
Very balanced on the palate, XO confirms the aromas discovered by scent: dried fruit and chocolate. Elegant and robust, it reveals balance, roundness and harmony among aromas underlined by the strength of peppery notes and vegetable fragrances from the oak.
A lovely long aftertaste is enrobed in velvet, conferring the last sweet notes of cinnamon and vanilla.

I have tried this product three times.
The first time it was heaven in a glass. Incredibly smooth and delicious. The next time it was completely different and not dissimilar to ordinary Hennessy. I decided to give it one more try in case I was just unlucky with a bad batch but it’s the same.
If I had a way of knowing I was going to get the good variety I would order it all the time but clearly it’s a bit of a lottery. Not the fault of the supplier I hasten to add.
For the money I would suggest just buying ordinary Hennessey
