Hennessy X.O – La Carafe Cognac

An iconic cognac presented in its most emblematic form.
Hennessy X.O La Carafe represents the original expression of one of the world’s most celebrated Extra Old cognacs. Presented in the Maison’s signature decanter, this edition highlights the depth, structure and complexity that have defined Hennessy X.O since its creation in 1870.

The Original X.O Experience

Created by Maurice Hennessy for his inner circle, Hennessy X.O was the first cognac ever classified as “Extra Old.” La Carafe showcases this historic blend in its purest form, a powerful yet refined assemblage of eaux-de-vie aged in young barrels to achieve intensity, balance and exceptional aromatic richness.
