Hennessy X.O Cognac Minis Gift Set (5 x 50mL)

Hennessy X.O Cognac Mini Bottle Limited Edition Gifting Set

X.O Cognac Gift Set | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 5 x 50mL Mini Bottles | 250mL Total | Limited Edition Gifting Set

Process & Profile

Hennessy X.O Cognac Mini Bottle Limited Edition Gifting Set brings together five 50mL bottles of Hennessy X.O, offering the Maison's iconic Extra Old Cognac in a collectible miniature format designed for gifting, sharing, or special occasions.

Hennessy X.O was created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy and Master Blender Émile Fillioux for Maurice Hennessy's circle of friends. The expression helped establish the X.O, or "Extra Old," style of Cognac and remains one of Hennessy's signature releases.

The blend brings together mature eaux-de-vie that develop their character through extended maturation in French oak. Hennessy describes X.O as deep, powerful, and rounded, with a progression from candied fruit and warming spice to dark chocolate, vanilla, and persistent oak.

Each miniature bottle contains 50mL of Hennessy X.O at 40% ABV, giving the five-pack a combined volume of 250mL while preserving the same Cognac found in the larger-format X.O bottle.

Tasting Notes

Each of the five Hennessy X.O mini bottles offers the same signature profile:

Nose: Rich dried and candied fruit, warm spice, vanilla, and seasoned oak

Palate: Candied fruit, peppery spice, dark chocolate, vanilla, and a full, rounded texture

Finish: Exceptionally long with lingering oak, vanilla, chocolate, spice, and warming Cognac richness

What Makes It Special

This gifting set combines the prestige of Hennessy X.O with the convenience and presentation of five individual 50mL bottles.

Rather than committing to a full-size bottle, the miniature format provides multiple individual pours that can be shared among guests, included in gift baskets, used for tasting occasions, or kept as collectible Hennessy minis.

The set is particularly appealing for gifting because every bottle is a miniature version of Hennessy's iconic X.O presentation. The recognizable decanter-inspired shape has been associated with Hennessy X.O for decades and gives the smaller bottles a distinctive display quality.

Having five separate bottles also makes the set more versatile than a single 250mL container. Each 50mL bottle can be opened individually, allowing the remaining Cognac to stay sealed until another occasion.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy each Hennessy X.O miniature neat in a rocks glass or Cognac glass to experience its full progression of fruit, spice, chocolate, vanilla, and oak.

Hennessy also recommends enjoying X.O over ice, where gradual dilution can soften the Cognac and reveal additional layers as the temperature changes.

The individual 50mL serving size makes these mini bottles particularly convenient for tastings, celebrations, travel-friendly gifting, and sharing without opening a larger bottle.
