Hennessy's cognac is triple distilled for a smoother taste that delivers more flavor than other brands on the market. The company prides itself on being "The World's Most Popular Cognac." This French product has been around since 1830 and was originally made from grapes grown at Château de Cognac. In 2006, Hennessy became part of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton


What is Hennessy?

The Cognac region is the area of France where Hennessy's headquarters is located. The company's main site is in Hennessy, a commune in the Charente-Maritime area, which is home to approximately 4,600 residents. That number increased by 400 in 2015 when Hennessy opened a 200,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant and "Hennessy Tech Park" adjacent to its headquarters.


Hennessy's XO Cognac line is exclusively sold in Nigeria, including Hennessy XO, Hennessy XO Elegance, Hennessy XO Imperiale, and Hennessy XO. Hennessy XO has quickly become one of Nigeria's most popular and best known cognac.

Where to Buy Hennessy

What to Expect from an XO


Hennessy XO is made by the Cognac house of Maison Hennessy in Cognac, France. It is distilled seven times and contains three different types of oak barrels which give it a creamy, smooth taste.


The first sip is a bit salty due to the first fermentation and then the flavor gives way to sweet notes of vanilla and cream.


Hennessy Bottle Costs

Since 2007, the Hennessy XO has been sold in four, limited-edition bottle sizes and three distinctive designs. The cheapest of the four, the XO 1.5L ($130), is currently discontinued. The least expensive bottle that has remained since 2007 is the XO 1.75L ($135). The most expensive, the XO 1.75L Prestige ($325) is considered the original Cognac design and only five bottles have been made. All Hennessy bottles sold in Nigeria are made by LVMH. Hennessy XO sales have increased due to the booming economy and local demand as more Nigerians seek to emulate the style and refinement of the French.


The biggest difference between XO 1.75L and XO 1.5L bottles is that the former is made from 100% Olorosante and Moscatel grapes while the latter is a blend of 70% Olorosante and 30% Moscatel grapes.


What You Get for Your Money

The XO Cognac Hennessy is made with only 4 ingredients, including native grape skins from Hennessy's own Cognac estate. These grapes are added to a total of 9 different casks and aged in oak for 3 years before being blended and bottled. The entire process took approximately 6 years from harvest to production.


The finish of the Hennessy XO Cognac is lengthy and smooth with a soft vanilla and fruity finish that lingers in the mouth. When you hear the name XO, you may imagine more like a wild, harsh experience. However, Hennessy XO's finish is what you would expect from Hennessy, which is known for their creamy, smooth taste.


Hennessy Cognac sell in both a 375 ml and 750 ml size. It sells for between $90 to $125 per bottle in Nigeria and in the US.


How Much Alcohol Is in One Shot of Hennessy XO?

(The average man can handle a drink or two, but when it comes to Hennessy XO or any other type of cognac, it's best to take the edge off by going slowly, otherwise your eyeballs will be watering in no time.)


¼ oz Hennessy XO - Cognac, 40% alcohol


¾ oz Bailey's Irish Cream, 39.4% alcohol


1.5 oz Hot Buttered Rum, 33.4% alcohol
