As far as I know the average age of the eaux-de-vie is 45 years.
You should also try the Martell XO or Martell Cordon Bleu.
25 years
Xo means that the cognac aged at least 6 years (XO or X.O. = extremely old or extra old)
There is one Hennessy Hennessy Classivm Cognac which is an Xo. I don't know the Classique the VS cognac is a classic Cognac
There are different grades of cognac depending on the age of the blends used. VS, VSOP, XO, Paradis, Richard and Ellipse are the 6 types of Hennessy cognac.
I belive around a range of 30 to 75% alcohol!
Actually this cognac is a blend of some crus: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fin Bois. However, you can buy this cognac for approx. $235, e.g. here http://www.cognac-expert.com/xo-cognac/hennessy-xo-cognac-extra-old
AnswerNapoleon Brandy is aged at least six years, Napoleon at least four years. Napoleon Cognac is between VSOP and XO and 8 and 20 years
A Cognac can be identified by its label. Cognac uses its own terms for the age of the spirit. Once distilled, the Cognac is aged in oak barrels. V.S. stands for Very Special, VSOP for Very Superior Old Pale and Napoléon or XO is Extra old.
Cognac is a certain type of brandy, based on white wines, which are used for distilling, can only be produced in the region of the Charente. Or more speciffally surround the town called Cognac. A Cognac must be aged in French oak casks (typically Limousin casks or Troncais) for at least two years, counting from the termination of the distillation process. But there are still different ages. Like XO, VSOP or VS. Napoléon is between VSOP and XO 8 and 20 years.

Yes Xo Xo
This is an easy question to answer and unless the person you are giving it to does not like spirits in their home, the answer is the same for all. Yes, Hennessy XO is a wonderful gift to give. It is a Top Shelf Cognac Brandy that not only leads the market, but has a very smooth taste. Cognac is one of if not the most elegant of all spirits. It is made in the Cognac region of France from specific grapes grown in highly suitable chalky terrain that makes wonderful flavors. The wine from these grapes are then distilled 2 times and stored in specific oak barrels for different periods, XO varieties sometimes up to 25 years. Needless to say, this produces a smooth cognac that anyone who enjoys a good cognac will treasure. If the intended receiver of the gift does not like cognac, they should still be evry happy to display it in their personal collection of spirits. Very good gift idea, and your very thoughtful for thinking of a gift of this magnitude.
