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. The Hennessy Tasting Committee has explored every facet of the blend and identified several emotions that were assimilated to an Odyssey through 7 chapters:  Sweet Notes: The palate is warmly embraced by flavorus 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 flavour intertwined with a hint of chocolate.  Flowing Flame: 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 flavour 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.

Cognac is a type of brandy that is produced in the Cognac region of France. The history of Cognac dates back to the 16th century, when Dutch traders began distilling wine to create a spirit that could withstand long sea voyages. The process of making Cognac involves distilling wine twice in copper pot stills, and then aging the resulting spirit in oak barrels for a minimum of two years.

One of the most highly ranked Cognac producers is Hennessy. Founded in 1765, Hennessy is the largest Cognac producer in the world. Their Cognacs are known for their smoothness and complexity, with notes of vanilla, oak, and fruit. Hennessy produces a range of Cognacs, from their entry-level VS (Very Special) to their high-end Paradis Imperial.

Another highly ranked Cognac producer is Remy Martin. Founded in 1724, Remy Martin is known for their high-quality Cognacs that are aged for longer than the minimum two years. Their Cognacs are characterized by their rich, fruity flavors and aromas, with notes of apricot, peach, and honey. Remy Martin produces a range of Cognacs, from their VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) to their Louis XIII, which is aged for up to 100 years.

Courvoisier is another highly ranked Cognac producer. Founded in 1809, Courvoisier is known for their smooth, elegant Cognacs that are aged for longer than the minimum two years. Their Cognacs are characterized by their floral and fruity aromas, with notes of jasmine, iris, and violet. Courvoisier produces a range of Cognacs, from their VS to their XO (Extra Old).

Martell is also a highly ranked Cognac producer. Founded in 1715, Martell is known for their smooth, well-balanced Cognacs that are aged for longer than the minimum two years. Their Cognacs are characterized by their fruity and spicy flavors, with notes of apricot, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Martell produces a range of Cognacs, from their VS to their Cordon Bleu.

These producers often focus on producing Cognacs that are aged for longer than the minimum two years, and that have unique flavor profiles. Some of these producers include Frapin, Delamain, and Hine.
