For over 150 years, Very Special Cognac Hennessy has established its unparalleled style. Reflecting Hennessy's expertise, it results from a lengthy process of selecting eaux-de-vie which are blended and aged in barrels with unwavering consistency. Hennessy VS melds a forthright and fruity character with vibrant woody notes, instantly discernible on the nose, paired with toasted nuances, brown sugar, and subtler hints of vine fruit. The agile and intense palate extends this creamy flavor profile, adding a more vanilla dimension to the mix. Some fresh and spontaneous floral notes round it off, imbuing a warm vitality.
