Hennessy X.O Ice Experience

Hennessy X.O Ice Experience is a limited gift set pairing a 750ml bottle of Hennessy X.O — the original Extra Old cognac, around 100 eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years — with an ice-inspired gift box that doubles as an ice bucket, plus serving tongs.

Hennessy X.O was the world's first cognac sold as Extra Old, created in 1870 and the benchmark for every XO since. Its blend draws on around 100 eaux-de-vie from the Cognac crus for a rich, layered character. The Ice Experience set presents that bottle in a gift box designed as an ice bucket, with a detachable pad to hold the bottle and sleek tongs for serving — built for serving X.O over ice. The cognac inside is standard Hennessy X.O.
