Hennessy X.O Cognac, 70cl

Product Information

The final piece is the Hennessy X.O limited edition ‘ready-to-wear’ version of the decanter, where the Hennessy X.O bottle is encased in an aluminium second skin. The structure has been designed to showcase the signature shape of the bottle while evoking a couture silhouette. We are thrilled to embark on a new odyssey blending cognac-making and couture with Kim Jones, a creative master of our time," said Laurent Boillot, Hennessy CEO. "Inspired by the emblematic personality of Hennessy X.O, Kim has developed a resolutely contemporary collection that is destined to make an impact on culture today and in the future." Rising Heat - An intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie that have patiently aged in oak barrels. Spicy Edge - A strong spicy note tantalizes the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate. The Hennessy X.O odyssey is one that the internationally acclaimed filmmarkers Ridley Scott and Nicholas Winding Refn each have explored. Commissioned in 2019 and 2016, respectively, their films harnessed the emotions this blend arouses and rendered them in unforgettable cinematic sequences.

Infinite Echo - Evanescent oak notes leave an extended finish that echoes all of the subtlties and sensation that have preceded it, a reflection of Hennessy X.O's complex blending and long aging process. While the bottle is entirely obscured from view, the cognac can be extracted using the fusil designed by Kim Jones, an elegant and playful ritual to serve a glass of the Hennessy X.O blend. As a finishing touch, the decanter itself has been dipped in gradient colors, an effect inspired by the shades of the different eaux-de-vie selected by the Master Blender to compose Hennessy X.O. Through the artistic mind of Kim Jones, the piece introduces a strange futuristic environment, halfway between a distillery and an haute couture atelier. An elusive robot takes the viewer through the space, slowly uncovering the inspiration behind the poetic details of The Fabric of Time as it passes next to an imposing mechanical alembic system. As the robot enters the main room, the Hennessy X.O Masterpiece designed by Kim Jones is revealed under the concealed watchful eye of the designer.

This deep amber cognac has an alchohol content of 40%. For a full taste experience, experts recommend drinking with an ice cube. Hennessy XO: Price UK Flowing Flame - A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks, creating a sensation of roudness, a robust presence and voluptuousness.

Each drop of Hennessy X.O is an invitation to awaken the senses. Thanks to a meticulous blending process, Hennessy X.O is a cognac of time-honored consistency. The Master Blenders' commitment to preserving quality, from the very first carafe to this day, has made this cognac an enduring symbol: its noble character stirs taste sensations while its powerful, carefully balanced structure guarantees an extremely long finish.

Contrasting with the classic upper, a technical sole in tonal grooved rubber features an imprint of cognac vines and the Hennessy X.O x Kim Jones logo on its underside, while the initials KJ and the Hennessy bras armé emblem discreetly adorn the heel.

WHERE COGNAC MEETS COUTURE: THE HENNESSY X.O MASTERPIECE AND HENNESSY X.O LIMITED EDITION DESIGNED BY KIM JONES The Hennessy X.O odyssey has been celebrated through exclusive artistic events. In 2017, Hennessy mounted an exhibition at selected points along the Silk Road, retracing its adventure through the artwork of seven artists in seven cities and countries the famed route traverses, from Istanbul, Turkey, to Shanghai, China. In 1947, Gérald de Geoffre, a member of the Hennessy family, further burnished the Hennessy X.O legend by creating a distinctive, instantly recognizable carafe that was as sensorial and powerful as the cognac it contained. A revolution at a time when cognac still came in bottle known as charentaises, this Hennessy X.O bottle marked its era. Although subtly adapted over the years, the essence of the original design remains, its curves inspired by the contours of a cluster of grapes, an homage to the blend's origins. Not only is Hennessy X.O an icon among cognacs, it's a beautiful symbol of Hennessy's ability to last. Then, as now, we always looked toward the horizon," notes Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde. Says Kim Jones: "When I saw how the vintage Hennessy bottles were wrapped, it spoke volumes to me about how precious each one is, and how they were handled. I was particularly touched by their history, and the sense of how generations have dedicated their time to making each step of the process better and better. That same process also holds true with fashion."

In time for the collection launch, Hennessy X.O unveils The Fabric of Time, a campaign video featuring a cameo of Kim Jones as he steps into the Hennessy X.O universe. Created by French creative trio Bleu Désert, the video places the collection at the convergence of human and mechanical movement.
