Hennessy - Cognac - Hennessy Very Special

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.

This heritage lives on through the uninterrupted transmission of a timeless craft, passed down through eight generations of cellar masters. Today, that legacy is carried forward by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde.

At the core of Hennessy’s excellence lie three unwavering pillars: expert and uncompromising selection, tailor-made aging, and meticulous, haute couture blending. Now present in over 160 countries, Hennessy stands as the undisputed leader in the world of Cognac.
