THE MASTERPIECE

The inspiration behind the design

Inspired by the power and strength of Hennessy X.O, this piece

represents the fusion of two worlds: Hennessy & Othoniel.

The decanter is transformed into a raw gem in its wooden envelope,

as a tribute to time crafting the powerful profile of Hennessy X.O via

an extra long and activate maturation process within French oak

barrels. Made of Baccarat crystal, it is a tribute to great richness of

flavours of this blend offering a multi-faceted profile. Each case has

been hand-carved in the same French oak wood used to create our

barrels. It protects the crystal decanted faceted like a jewel by the

master glassmakers.

It is Jean-Michel Othoniel testament to the way in which raw

materials can be shaped by ancestral savoir-faire and time.

HENNESSY X.O x JEAN-MICHEL OTHONIEL

In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O for his circle of

friends and introduced a new style of cognac. Hennessy X.O is the

Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison. Deep and

powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.O cognac are aged in

young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by

their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time.

Hennessy X.O is collaborating with the French contemporary artist

Jean-Michel Othoniel, merging organic art, culture and luxury to

express X.O’s greatness through a sensorial and poetic lens. Known for

his mesmerizing sculptures and installations, he gained recognition in

the art world for his use of unconventional materials such as glass.

“This collaboration evokes the power and strength of Hennessy X.O

cognac and the symphony of colours that makes it up. This work is a

tribute to raw beauty tamed by our ancestral know-how. It magnifies

the resonance of our senses. It carries within it my desire for total

art.”
