Tasting note
軒尼詩為慶祝2025蛇年推出的限量XO,帶有節慶氛圍又不失經典深度。香氣以蜜乾果、蜜柑皮、香草和烘烤橡木為主,接著是焦糖和黑巧克力的豐厚甜感,伴隨肉桂、胡椒等烘焙香料,還能感受到皮革與淡淡煙草。入口質地圓潤飽滿,酒體厚實但絲滑,餘韻悠長,辛香與木質感慢慢延伸。酒廠背景:來自擁有百年酒窖的軒尼詩,精選不同陳年基酒調和而成,每一瓶都在法國橡木桶中層層陳釀以累積風味。釀造與陳釀:融合多層次陳年酒液,注重木桶賦予的香草、烤核果與香料記憶。葡萄園與產地:原酒取自科涅克區多樣的風土,帶來成熟果香、花香與礦物感的平衡。飲用建議:常溫或略涼,倒入郁金香杯稍微醒10–20分鐘風味更開。
A celebratory limited-edition release from Hennessy crafted for the 2025 Year of the Snake. On the nose this X.O. unfurls generous layers of dried stone fruit, candied orange peel, warm vanilla and toasted oak. The palate is plush and expansive — caramel and dark chocolate arrive alongside baking spices, leather and a hint of tobacco, all wrapped in a broad, silky texture. Long, warming finish with lingering spice and oak echoes. Producer notes: assembled from carefully aged eaux-de-vie drawn from Hennessy’s extensive cellars across premier Cognac crus, then married and rested to achieve the hallmark X.O. complexity. Winemaking: multiple ageing tiers in French oak casks impart deep colour, structure and spice; the limited-edition bottling adds special labelling and presentation for the Chinese New Year. Vineyard: fruit sourced from the Cognac region’s varied terroirs, giving a balance of ripe fruit, floral lift and mineral backbone. Serve neat in a tulip or snifter at cellar to slightly cool room temperature; allow 10–20 minutes in glass to open.
