Description
Hennessy XO Luminous has Flavors of candied fruit and its subtle and lightly spicy nose create a complete harmony, a mark of its power and roundness. A smooth, full sensation gives a simultaneously powerful and soft tonality with a hint of cocoa and a warm, fruity presence. The long finish expresses all the complexity of the cognac’s blending and its long ageing process.
Hennessy XO Luminous uses the classic cognac grading system for its main portfolio. These are used to indicate the cognac’s age (or the youngest cognac in the blend):
- Sweet Notes:Â The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit.
- Rising Heat:Â The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels.
- Spicy Edge:Â Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.
- Flowing Flame:Â A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt.
- Chocolate Lull:Â There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate.
- Wood Crunches: A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla.
- Infinite Echo:Â The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.
