Hennessy XO Chinese New Year 2026 Limited Edition

Majestic, Artistic, Historically Bold A celebration of the Year of the Horse through the lens of pure luxury.

The Hennessy XO Chinese New Year 2026 Limited Edition is the pinnacle of the Maison’s Lunar New Year celebrations. To honor the Year of the Horse, Hennessy has unveiled a stunning collaboration with a visionary contemporary artist, transforming the iconic flint glass decanter into a vibrant canvas of color and movement. This edition captures the spirit of the Horse—symbolizing strength, success, and freedom—making it a prestigious totem for the year ahead.

The Original X.O Since 1870

At Cognac Select, we celebrate this edition as a marriage of modern art and timeless spirit. Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his inner circle of friends, Hennessy X.O was the first cognac to be labeled "Extra Old." The blend is composed of over 100 different eaux-de-vie, some aged for up to 30 years. This limited edition provides the same robust and multi-layered experience that has made X.O a global icon of luxury for over 150 years.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A deep, intense amber with shimmering mahogany and golden highlights.

Nose: Rich and multifaceted. It opens with an explosion of candied fruits and spicy black pepper, followed by the noble scents of wild cocoa and dried flowers. A subtle hint of oak and old leather provides a sophisticated finish to the aroma.

Palate: The texture is incredibly dense and structured. On the palate, it reveals the famous "seven chapters" of Hennessy X.O: from the rising heat of the spices to the chocolate lull and the wood crunches. Layers of plum, cinnamon, and vanilla dance across the tongue in perfect harmony.

Finish: Exceedingly long and powerful. It leaves a persistent, "infinite echo" of sweet spices and toasted oak that resonates long after the final sip.
