Why Gifted Pour recommends it
For the person who marks the Lunar New Year with family, generosity and a proper toast, this bottle arrives already dressed for the occasion. Its artist-designed bottle celebrates the new year, and inside is Hennessy X.O, crafted from over 100 eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years and made from Ugni Blanc grapes in Cognac, France. It suits a parent or grandparent hosting the reunion dinner, a mentor you want to thank, or a colleague celebrating a milestone at the turn of the year. The nose opens with candied fruit, cocoa and oak spice, with subtle leather, dried fig and clove. On the palate, dark chocolate, cinnamon, black pepper and stewed fruit move over a velvety structure, and the finish is long and warming with elegant tannins. Because it is a limited release, it feels like a keepsake as much as a pour. Encourage them to open it neat in a snifter, perhaps alongside dark chocolate or a cigar, once the celebrating winds down.
Pairs well with
- Lunar New Year family gift — The artist-designed bottle celebrates the new year, making it a fitting present to open at a family toast with its rich stewed fruit and spice.
- Dark chocolate truffles — Dark chocolate echoes the cocoa and chocolate notes on the nose and palate while the cognac's cinnamon and black pepper add warmth.
