HENNESSY XO EC 10 (2017 Limited Edition by Marc Newson)

Hennessy X.O EC10 (2017 Marc Newson Limited Edition) is a highly collectible Cognac that blends Hennessy’s iconic X.O style with a striking designer decanter created in collaboration with Marc Newson. Crafted by the House of Hennessy (est. 1765), this Exclusive Collection release reimagines the classic X.O silhouette in a cleaner, more contemporary form—while preserving heritage cues through sculpted grape-and-leaf motifs.

For the 2017 edition, Newson introduced a distinctive corrugated relief and glass striations that catch the light, amplifying the warm amber hues of the Cognac inside. The bottle is finished with a silver cap (the design later continued with a gold-cap variant in 2018) and presented in a clear display gift case, making it ideal for collectors, luxury gifting, and statement home bars.

In the glass, this X.O expression shows a beautifully rounded profile—candied fruit, gentle spice, and a smooth, full-bodied palate with a hint of cocoa and warming fruit depth. It’s designed to be a multi-sensory experience: the craftsmanship of the liquid and the artistry of the decanter working together.
