He was born in 1724 in Cork but left Ireland at the age of 20 as part of the ‘Wild Geese’ generation of Irish Catholics to fight for France against Britain. Hennessy arrived in France at the age of just 20. According to one story, he was injured at the battle of Fontenoy in 1745 in present day Belgium during the War of Spanish Succession. Later he settled on the banks of the Charente River, near the town of Cognac. In 1765, he went into the brandy business with two partners and the help of loans from Parisian banks. He married a local woman called Helene and had a son called Jacques, or James as he was also known. It was James Hennessy who turned his father’s brandy business into an international concern. His choice of wife was a canny one, Martine Martell, who he married in 1795. She was the daughter of Jean Martell, a British, or sort of British, he was from Guernsey, Cognac merchant. Hennessy began exporting to the US, the first shipment arrived in New York in 1794. Richard Hennessy died in 1800. In 1804, the firm took the big step of exporting in glass bottles rather than barrels. This meant that Hennessy had full control of the product from grape to the customer’s glass so that adulteration and outright counterfeiting were much harder. In 1806 Jean Fillioux was appointed master blend. Amazingly enough eight generations later his descendant Renaud Fillioux de Gironde is Hennessy’s master blender - a bit of almost unprecedented continuity in the Cognac industry.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-29T11:01:29-04:00","created_at":"2023-03-15T10:11:49-04:00","vendor":"ConciergeUK","type":"Cognac","tags":["ATOMCC23","nini1503","Proof_75 - 100 (37.5 - 50% ABV)","Source_MasterOfMalt0323","Type_Cognac"],"price":62700,"price_min":62700,"price_max":62700,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42847926517898,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Hennessy XO - Chinese New Year 2023 | 700ML","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":62700,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_e3769203-06a6-4110-bfcc-ec0bd8791e82.jpg?v=1678889528"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_e3769203-06a6-4110-bfcc-ec0bd8791e82.jpg?v=1678889528","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Hennessy XO - Chinese New Year 2023 | 700ML at CaskCartel.com","id":24409929187466,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.163,"height":516,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_e3769203-06a6-4110-bfcc-ec0bd8791e82.jpg?v=1678889528"},"aspect_ratio":1.163,"height":516,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_e3769203-06a6-4110-bfcc-ec0bd8791e82.jpg?v=1678889528","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eCognac: Hennessy XO - Chinese New Year 2023 | 700ML\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn celebration of the Lunar New Year, Cognac House Hennessy has released this limited edition bottling of its XO expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL ORDERS PLACED ARE GUARANTEED\u003c\/strong\u003e and WILL NOT be cancelled like with other retailers.
