Hennessy X.O Art by Xu Zhen Deluxe Edition

Hennessy X.O Art by Xu Zhen Deluxe Edition brings the maison's landmark extra-old Cognac together with the work of contemporary Chinese artist Xu Zhen, part of Hennessy's long history of artist collaborations. First created in 1870 for the family and friends of Maurice Hennessy, X.O effectively defined the extra-old category, and this limited deluxe presentation dresses that heritage in a bottle meant to be displayed as much as poured.

In the glass this is classic Hennessy X.O: a deep amber Cognac layered with candied fruit, warm baking spice, and dark chocolate over a backbone of toasted oak. Long-aged eaux-de-vie from the Cognac region give it a rich, rounded character, with sweet vanilla and dried fig giving way to a gently peppery, rancio-tinged depth that lingers well after the sip.

Artist-edition Hennessy releases are produced in limited runs, which makes this a natural centerpiece for a Cognac collection or a standout gift for someone who already owns the standard bottling. Pair it on the shelf with our other Hennessy expressions and the rest of the Liquor Geeks Cognac lineup. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
