Hennessy - XO Kim Jones Limited Edition (750ml)
Hennessy Description
In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac. Hennessy X.O is the Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison.
Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.O cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time.
SWEET NOTES: The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit.
RISING HEAT: The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels.
SPICY EDGE: Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.
FLOWING FLAMES: A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt.
CHOCOLATE LULL: There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate.
WOOD CRUNCHES: A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla.
INFINITE ECHO: The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.
This limited-edition design by Kim Jones represents a 'ready-to-wear' garment inspired by the exquisite masterpiece. It is gracefully enveloped by a second skin in aluminium, draped like precious fabric to showcase the bottle's signature silhouette. The minimal design is a true representation of the merger of fashion, savoir-faire, and heritage - it is a striking example of cultural excellence.
"When i sa w how vintage Hennessy bottles were wrapped for shipment, it spoke volumes to me about how preciously east one is handled. I was particularly touched by their history, and the sense that generations have dedicated their time to making each step of the process better and better. that same process also holds true with fashion." -Kim Jones
