Hennessy XO Year of the Horse 2026 – Art of Xu Zhen (750ml)

Product Description

Hennessy XO Year of the Horse 2026 – Art of Xu Zhen 750ml is a pinnacle collector release that unites one of the world’s most prestigious cognacs with contemporary global art. Curated by blackbook for its cultural significance, rarity, and visual impact, this edition celebrates the Lunar New Year through a bold artistic collaboration with renowned Chinese artist Xu Zhen.

At its core is Hennessy XO, the house’s iconic Extra Old cognac—an opulent blend of long-aged eaux-de-vie matured in French oak. Known for its depth, richness, and unmistakable structure, XO delivers layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, spice, and oak that unfold slowly with every sip. The 2026 Year of the Horse presentation elevates the experience into a true statement piece, designed to honor motion, strength, and forward momentum.

At blackbook, we reserve space for releases that transcend spirits alone. This XO edition stands as both a world-class cognac and a collectible work of art—meant to be displayed, gifted, and eventually savored.
