HENNESSY PRESENTS HENNESSY X.O TRAVEL EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION

Maison Hennessy presents a special collection of Hennessy X.O, available exclusively in four select dream destinations worldwide: Paris, Hainan, Macau, Singapore. In each of these thrilling destinations, the House of Hennessy is proud to host a collection of site-specific experiences.

Hennessy's iconic cognac, the multi-faceted X.O, was created in 1870 for Maurice Hennessy to share with his innermost circle of friends. It wasn't long before the blend surpassed its original intent: Hennessy X.O became the first Hennessy cognac to circle the globe, journeying from Cognac to Paris and eastward to Hainan, Macau and Singapore.

“Hennessy X.O Travel Exclusive Collection is a series of tailored-made city editions, creating exclusivity, offering luxurious consumer experiences, and brings new energy into the travel retail channel.”, says Laurent Boidevezi, President of Moët Hennessy Travel Retail, LAC, AFME, Private Sales.

The Hennessy X.O Paris edition made its debut at Les Caves Particulières in 2021, marking the avant-première of the special collection. Conceived “like a one-way ticket to the celebrated French art de vivre”, the edition highlights iconic outlines of some of the capital’s most renowned monuments, from Les Invalides to the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. Elegant blues and vibrant reds convey the feel of wide, tree-lined boulevards and café terraces, capturing the spirit of romance in the City of Light. The edition is available all year-long at the Paris Airports.

A favorite for lovers in search of a tropical getaway, Hainan Island welcomed the very first shipments of Hennessy cognac in 1859. Today, this lush oasis of golden sandy beaches, mountain forests and exotic fauna is an idyllic resort destination whose beaches are known as "the edges of heaven," but it also has a dynamic architectural scene, both of which are depicted here in tones of azure blue and radiant yellow.

Known as "the Vegas of the East," Macau also welcomed Hennessy X.O in 1872. A land of multi-cultural energy and epicurean pleasures, this island celebrates a dual character that mixes tradition and futurism, the picturesque romance of Senado Square and the bold lines of Macau Tower and the Morpheus hotel. A sunset orange and edgy purple color scheme blends the feel of a balmy, exotic getaway with the excitement of Macau's celebrated nightlife.

A haven for every kind of traveler, Singapore is prized for its harmonious balance between nature and the city. Daring landmarks like the ArtScience Museum, the Marina Bay Sands Resort and the Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay mingle with the flourishing vegetation of a country that first embraced Hennessy X.O in 1893. A lively palette of greens and purples celebrate a long-lasting friendship and the best of two worlds.

In each of these thrilling destinations, the House of Hennessy is proud to host a collection of site-specific experiences, including tasting rituals designed with head bartenders at iconic palace hotels, a curated gift selection, and insider tips on appreciations and pairings.
