自1765年以來,軒尼詩不斷完善干邑釀造藝術,歷八代釀酒大師的傳承。
1870年,莫理斯.軒尼詩(Maurice Hennessy)為他的摯友專門釀製一款嶄新獨特的干邑,X.O在此誕生。軒尼詩X.O是最早被歸類為 X.O的干邑之一。釀製這款軒尼詩X.O干邑的生命之水味道深邃而濃烈,在較年輕的酒桶內陳釀。以強勁、活力、圓潤的口感而著稱,隨著時間的推移愈發醇厚。

品酒筆記:
經仔細評鑒後,呈現出7段風味的旅程:
- 甘飴之始 - 入口即由蜜餞水果的味道包覆。
- 昇華之熱 - 飽滿而誘人的感受,緩慢呈現的暖意,透過橡木桶陳年的生命之水逐漸轉化出複雜而多重的滋味。
- 辛香之誘 - 強烈干邑辛香為味覺帶來衝擊,獨特的黑胡椒與淺淺的巧克力風味不斷挑逗味蕾。
- 綻放之焰 - 一陣陣暖流變得強烈,到達頂峰,繼而消散。強而有力、豐盛又華麗。
- 醇厚之魅 - 逐步感受到熟悉的滋味。就是圓潤濃郁的黑巧克力。
- 橡木之邃 - 令人注目的感覺突然湧現——橡木與香草的味道剛勁有力、縈繞不斷。
- 回味無窮 - 逐漸消散的橡木香氣,留着悠長、幽香的餘韻。味道中的微妙細節、所帶來的感官享受,都彷如無盡的迴響,久久不散。
Since 1765, Maison Hennessy has perfected the art of cognac-making, a tradition perpetuated by eight generations of Master Blenders.
In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac. Hennessy X.O was one of the first Cognacs classified as X.O. or "extra old".
Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.O cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time.

Tasting Notes:
Every aspect of this X.O is explored, the tasting notes are divided into 7 chapters:
SWEET NOTES - The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit.
RISING HEAT - The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels.
SPICY EDGE - Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.
FLOWING FLAMES - A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt.
CHOCOLATE LULL - There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate.
WOOD CRUNCHES - A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla.
INFINITE ECHO - The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.
