Product Description

Hennessy X.O x Kim Jones Limited Edition: Where Cognac Meets Couture

The Hennessy X.O x Kim Jones Limited Edition brings together one of the world's most famous cognacs and one of fashion's most influential designers. Kim Jones, the Artistic Director of Dior Men and Fendi Womenswear, took inspiration from the 150-year history of Hennessy X.O to create a collection that blends high fashion, science, and cognac. The collaboration has three pieces: the sculptural Hennessy X.O Masterpiece decanter, a limited-edition HNY Low sneaker, and this bottle, the limited-edition "ready-to-wear" version of the carafe, which was the third and final piece of the collection.

The bottle is encased in an aluminum second skin. It keeps the iconic shape of the Hennessy X.O carafe while giving it a couture silhouette. It's a collectible piece for fashion fans, cognac collectors, and anyone who wants a statement bottle on their bar. The cognac inside is the classic Hennessy X.O, so you're getting the real thing in a designer package.

About Hennessy X.O

Hennessy X.O is the original "Extra Old" cognac. It was created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy, a fourth-generation member of the Hennessy family, as a special cognac for his family and friends, and it was one of the first cognacs ever to carry the X.O name. It's a blend of more than 100 eaux-de-vie, aged up to 30 years in French oak, drawn from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois crus. Hennessy describes it as deep and powerful, with a balanced structure and great roundness through time. It's bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

Tasting Notes

Hennessy's tasting committee identifies seven notes in every sip: Sweet Notes, Rising Heat, Spicy Edge, Flowing Flame, Chocolate Lull, Wood Crunches, and Infinite Echo.

Nose: Rich dried-fruit aromas such as prunes and dried figs, evolving into denser notes of chocolate and black pepper, softened by cinnamon, clove, and cardamom.

Palate: Very balanced, with dried fruit and chocolate, elegant and robust, underlined by peppery notes and the structure of oak.

Finish: Long and velvety, with the last sweet notes of cinnamon and vanilla.

Food Pairings

Hennessy recommends dark chocolate as a natural match, since both are refined and highly aromatic. Hennessy X.O also pairs well with roasted nuts, aged cheeses, and a good cigar, or with a dessert like crème brûlée or a chocolate torte.

Serving Suggestions

Hennessy X.O is best enjoyed neat in a snifter, or over a single large ice cube if you prefer it cooler. Because this is a collectible, many buyers keep the bottle on display and open a standard bottle for sipping, but the cognac inside is ready to enjoy.
