Introducing a stunning convergence of fine art and master blending: the Hennessy X.O Limited Edition by Jean-Michel Othoniel. This exclusive release transforms the iconic Hennessy X.O decanter into a contemporary work of art, celebrating a shared commitment to heritage, craftsmanship, and visionary creativity.
This collaboration features the timeless Hennessy X.O cognac, a benchmark of excellence since its creation in 1870. The original 'Extra Old' cognac, it is a complex and powerful blend of over 100 distinct eaux-de-vie, meticulously selected from the finest crus of the Cognac region. Aged for extended periods, with some eaux-de-vie maturing for decades in French oak barrels, the resulting spirit is renowned for its profound character and unparalleled depth.
For this 2024 limited edition, Hennessy partnered with acclaimed French contemporary artist Jean-Michel Othoniel. Celebrated globally for his enchanting glass sculptures, Othoniel brings his signature play of light, form, and reflection to the world of fine spirits. Inspired by the deep amber hues of the cognac itself and the transformative power of time, he has reimagined the classic decanter as a precious gem.
The bottle is encased in a striking, gold-toned metallic structure, sculpted with sharp, reflective angles. This faceted design catches and refracts light, evoking the intricate beauty of a rough-hewn jewel and Othoniel's own masterful glasswork. It is a testament to the way ancestral savoir-faire can shape raw materials into something truly extraordinary.
Inside this sculptural piece resides the legendary Hennessy X.O. Expect a sensory journey with powerful notes of candied fruit and a distinct, spicy nose. The palate unfolds with layers of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and deep oaky tones, culminating in an exceptionally long and harmonious finish. Each sip is a testament to the Fillioux family's eight generations of Master Blenders.
As a highly collectible item, the Hennessy X.O Limited Edition by Jean-Michel Othoniel stands as a symbol of luxury and artistic expression. It continues Hennessy's legacy of collaborating with cultural visionaries, making it a prized possession for connoisseurs of both exceptional cognac and contemporary art. This rare edition is a true masterpiece, destined to be the centerpiece of any distinguished collection.
