Tasting note

軒尼詩 X.O. 是家族經典的頂級干邑，香氣濃郁且層次分明。杯中先是蜜餞與乾果的甜香，接著有烘烤橡木的香草和可可氣息，入口圓潤飽滿，溫暖的辛香料與黑巧克力、焦糖接連綻放，橡木帶來細緻的烘香與些許胡椒感。口感豐盈但不厚重，酒體滑順，尾韻悠長，餘味中仍能捕捉到木頭與香料的回聲。 酒莊與釀造：軒尼詩自18世紀以來深耕干邑領域，X.O. 創於1870年，採用來自不同產區、不同年期的基酒混配而成，並以利穆贊（Limousin）橡木桶陳年。蒸餾沿用傳統銅壺蒸餾工藝，調配師在酒窖中細心掌握陳放時間，既保留力量感，也讓酒款隨時間柔和圓潤。 田地與風土：所選來源橙分布於科尼阿克各個優良產區，泥灰質與石灰土壤賦予原酒乾淨的骨架，橡木桶則為最終風味帶來香草、椰香與辛香層次。建議倒入寬口杯稍微醒一會兒，以讓香氣全面展開。

Hennessy X.O. is the emblematic XO from the Maison Hennessy: a deep, powerful and layered cognac built from a large selection of eaux-de-vie. On the nose it offers candied and dried fruit — figs, raisin and candied orange — layered with toasted oak, vanilla and cocoa. The palate is voluptuous and warming: waves of dark chocolate, toffee and spice unfold alongside peppery, rancio notes and a persistent oak-derived vanilla. The texture is round and generous, with a long, echoing finish that highlights wood, spice and sweet-savoury nuances. Producer notes: Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his circle of friends, X.O. established a new style for cognac. The blend brings together eaux-de-vie aged across decades — often reported to range from around ten to many decades old — and is matured in oak barrels that contribute lively wood spice and vanilla while allowing a full, rounded expression to develop over time. Winemaking and vineyard notes: Hennessy assembles eaux-de-vie from multiple crus across the Cognac region, matured in Limousin oak casks and finished to achieve balance between power and softness. Distillation is traditionally carried out in copper pot stills with careful ageing management in the cellars, producing a spirit with both intensity and remarkable length.

Winery

軒尼詩（Maison Hennessy）自18世紀起便是干邑的重要代表，X.O. 於1870年問世，旨在呈現更深、更豐富的風格。酒款由多個產區與不同年代的原酒調配而成，沿用傳統銅壺蒸餾並以利穆贊橡木桶陳年。酒莊長期重視窖藏管理與調配技藝，使每一瓶都保持力量與細緻的平衡。

Maison Hennessy, founded in the 18th century and now a leading name in Cognac production, created X.O. in 1870 to showcase a bolder, more complex style. The house blends hundreds of eaux-de-vie drawn from multiple crus and cellars; distillation is traditional (copper pot stills) and maturation is carried out in Limousin oak casks. Ownership is part of the LVMH/Diageo partnership, and the cellar masters maintain long-established blending and ageing practices to ensure consistency and depth.
