Hennessy - Cognac - Hennessy XO

Conceived by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his close circle of friends, Cognac Hennessy XO stands out due to its precise balance, setting it as a benchmark cognac.

For over 250 years, Hennessy has safeguarded an extraordinary legacy: the largest collection of eaux-de-vie in the world—some of which have been aging in the Maison’s historic cellars for more than two centuries.

This heritage lives on through the uninterrupted transmission of a timeless craft, passed down through eight generations of cellar masters. Today, that legacy is carried forward by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde.

At the core of Hennessy’s excellence lie three unwavering pillars: expert and uncompromising selection, tailor-made aging, and meticulous, haute couture blending. Now present in over 160 countries, Hennessy stands as the undisputed leader in the world of Cognac.
