Save KSh 4,000 · 10% off
This is the bottle you open when the night actually matters. Pour a little, sit back, and it unfolds slowly: candied fruit, a slow rising warmth, dark chocolate, then oak that hangs around long after the sip. It's deep, rich and unhurried, made for sipping not slamming. The original 'Extra Old' cognac, and after one glass you'll get why people guard it for the good nights.
First whiff is warm and sweet, all candied orange and dried fruit over polished oak. Then it gets serious. There's a gentle peppery spice, a real hit of dark chocolate, a whisper of smoke, and that famous rising heat that blooms across your tongue without ever burning. The texture is the giveaway: thick, velvety, almost chewy for a spirit. The finish just refuses to leave, echoing oak and spice for a good while. Hennessy's own tasting team maps it as seven 'chapters' from sweet to smoky to that infinite echo, and honestly, you can taste every one.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Cognac, France. The XO story starts in 1870, when Maurice Hennessy blended an 'extra old' cognac just for his own circle of friends and family. It went down so well he stamped it 'X.O', and the whole cognac world eventually borrowed the term. It's a blend of around 100 different eaux-de-vie (the grape spirits at the heart of cognac), distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes across the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fin Bois crus, then aged up to 30 years in French oak. The original 'Extra Old', still set by the family that named it.
