With a festive cheer in our hearts, here are 4 kinds of people you may know, who will appreciate and cherish the gift of Hennessy X.O and Ice.
Fresh off of taking diners and drinkers on an epic Odyssey, Hennessy is giving cognac lovers a chance to take others on a journey of their own. For the season of giving – which this year just so happens to extend an extra month to the Chinese New Year – Hennessy is tearing off the wrappers on a limited-edition gift pack, perfect for someone special.
Hennessy X.O and Ice is an immediate head-turner thanks to its white decanter that, while carrying many of X.Os design motives, still stands out unlike any other. But it is what’s inside the decanter that makes for something special.
This isn’t just a fancy bottle of X.O; for the traditional cognac drinker, it is a revolution. Hennessy X.O and Ice isn’t just a drink you can have with ice if you prefer a cold drink, it is one you must have with ice if you are to enjoy and savour every note of every eaux-de-vie. While the traditional drinker takes his X.O neat, the addition of ice unlocks layers of sweet and spicy flavours as it melts, creating a multi-sensory experience.
When the ice is finally gone, you’re left with a chilled glass of cognac that stands up to dilution, and delivers a light and fresh drink.
The gift pack also comes with two new Hennessy X.O glasses designed by Thomas Bastide, that make the opening of this bottle a sharing occasion. So with that festive cheer in our hearts, here are 4 kinds of people you may know, who will appreciate and cherish the gift of Hennessy X.O and Ice.
The Connoisseur
Who could find more pleasure in a special bottle of X.O than a true connoisseur? But even the biggest enthusiast of cognac may find something new to enjoy in Hennessy X.O and Ice. If, like most connoisseurs, they take their X.O neat, watch their eyes light up, as they savour new flavours from a seemingly familiar drink with the simple addition of ice. The decanter can then take its place as the stand out piece of their collection.
The Bride
The white decanter does more than make one think of a white Christmas; the sweet and spicy flavours of the X.O and Ice, coupled with the warm joy it brings up inside, easily makes one think of a wedding. Not only would this make for a matching gift for a bride (or her groom) on their nuptials, it could also be one you give before the occasion, to help her (or him) calm the nerves on their big day. No runaways with this bottle.
The Achiever
The added bonus of a special, limited edition gift is that it matches the equally special, once-in-a-lifetime achievement it can mark. Whether it’s a graduation, a promotion, retirement, a successful year, an engagement, a newborn, a new home, a new car or just about anything worth celebrating, Hennessy X.O. and Ice not only lives up to the occasion, but serves as a unique memento to remember it by.
The First-timer
For a Hennessy lover who wants to share his passion for the world of cognac, the rich and luxurious X.O is the best introduction possible. More so with Hennessy X.O and Ice, that not only gives them a keeper of a decanter, but makes their first experience with cognac smooth and cool, avoiding the potential over-powering that could come with regular X.O. This also makes it a perfect gift to convert a whiskey lover.
The limited edition Hennessy X.O and Ice gift pack will be available in all AEON stores from January 1, 2017. For more information and enquiries, call 03-2053 8688, or email info@mhdm.com.my
