ICON
“Innovation means creating the classics of tomorrow.”
Created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870, X.O is the perfect illustration of this maxim, which is dear to heart of the cognac House. Two years only after its creation, X.O allowed Hennessy to strengthen its presence in China. It gave the world a radically new approach to aging eaux-de-vie.
INSPIRATION
In 1765, Richard Hennessy founded the House that bears his name. An Irish officer living in exile in France, he left his native land to pursue a unique destiny, showing resilience in the face of adversity. He introduced the art of selecting and ageing eaux-de-vie to cognac, always with an unwavering insistence on quality.
Richard Hennessy and his son James established what would become the standard in the cognac industry.
A committed humanist, his openness towards other cultures and his sense of excellence continue to inspire the House today.
