DRINK
Spicy, Fruity Cognac
Hennessy displays its age-old expertise on the design of this collectable limited edition of cognac carafe, whose curves have remained unchanged since the Marquis de Geoffre traced them out in 1947. Designer Arik Levy chose to trace a plinth on which the carafe rests, taking inspiration from the Rocks, which typify his works. Masculine and powerful, Hennessy X.O. delivers a strong, peppery heat spiced with cloves and hints of old leather. This power softens in the mouth, blurred by gourmet notes of vanilla, cinnamon and candied fruit.
