Hennessy XO Exclusive Collection No. 9 (IX) 2016 by Tom Dixon is a limited-edition luxury cognac offering that masterfully marries the heritage of Hennessy XO with the avant-garde design sensibility of British designer Tom Dixon. Created as the crowning finale to Hennessy’s 250-year anniversary celebration in 2016, this collectible release stands as both a sensorial and visual masterpiece.
As an XO cognac, the blend reflects the brand’s longstanding tradition dating back to 1870, when Maurice Hennessy introduced the XO (Extra Old) grade. This edition comprises a carefully selected blend of more than 100 eaux-de-vie, some of which matured for decades, drawing from Hennessy’s best growth areas in Grande and Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, and Bois Ordinaires :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
The bottle itself is a standout art piece: Tom Dixon was inspired by the brilliance of crystal, diamonds, and natural minerals. Moving beyond his earlier 2014 copper-toned version, this silver-infused No. 9 edition features a pixelated, relief-like surface that shimmers like a gemstone. The interplay of texture, light, and color—accented with gold and black labeling and a matching presentation box—creates a visual experience as rich as the cognac within :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
Tasting reveals a deep amber hue that hints at intensity. The nose opens with warm spice, segueing into a palate of candied fruits and subtle cocoa, culminating in a long, dry finish that lingers elegantly :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}. Whether enjoyed neat or served with ice to unlock additional layers, this XO is remarkably versatile for a collector’s piece.
Today, the Hennessy XO Exclusive Collection No. 9 (IX) 2016 by Tom Dixon is highly sought after by collectors and cognac enthusiasts alike—valued for its rarity, luxurious presentation, and the craftsmanship it represents :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
