Hennessy | XXO Extra Old Cognac

Hennessy XXO Extra Old Cognac

A Visionary Blend of Power and Finesse

Originally created in 1870 by Master Blender Emile Fillioux alongside Hennessy X.O, Hennessy XXO was reintroduced in 2018 by Yann Fillioux, the seventh-generation Master Blender. This exceptional cognac embodies a bold commitment to craftsmanship, offering a harmonious balance between strength and subtlety.
