In celebration of the Lunar New Year of the Snake in 2025, Hennessy has collaborated with acclaimed fashion designer Shuting Qiu to create a stunning limited-edition Hennessy X.O. This iconic blend, first crafted in 1870 by Master Blender Emile Fillioux, remains a symbol of timeless elegance and sophistication, perfect for sharing among friends and family.

Inspired by traditional Chinese silks and craftsmanship, Shuting Qiu’s design envelops the Hennessy X.O bottle in a captivating gradient of red to purple, accented with floral patterns and lozenge shapes. The embossed snake motif gliding across the bottle symbolizes transformation, renewal, and the spirit of the Year of the Snake. The bottle is presented in a luxurious gift box adorned with fabric-like textures and elegant embossing, making it an exquisite collector’s item for the festive season.

The Hennessy X.O offers a rich aromatic profile with layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and spices. On the palate, it reveals complex flavors of prunes, figs, roasted nuts, and a hint of black pepper, all balanced by a smooth, velvety texture. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving a warm, luxurious aftertaste of cocoa, spice, and a touch of leather.

TASTING NOTES

Appearance: Deep reddish amber, which not only reflects a long time spent in oak, but can also be evidence of the caramel coloring which many cognac houses add to their products

Aroma: Rich dark fruits, along with a hint of cracked pepper. It takes a little while for this one to rev up, but hold it on the tongue for a bit and butterscotch, caramel, candied orange peel, and dark stone fruits gather strength, along with cinnamon spice and oak. What starts off subtle ends up big and full-bodied.

Taste: A moderate oaky spice dominates on the back of the palate, culminating in a dry finish with a gentle alcoholic kick. Fruit and oak linger equally on the long afterglow.
