Serve
With notes of candied fruit, chocolate and pepper, Hennessy XO is delicious neat. This is one that requires a balloon glass for the full effect.
Process
Mostly made of Ugni Blanc grape, once pressed, fermented, and twice distilled in traditionally shaped Charentais copper stills. The distillate is then matured in casks made from the nearby Limousin or Tronçais forest. A blend of these casks is used.
