Hennessy V.S
Hennessy4.7(11,200 reviews)
Hennessy V.S (Very Special) is the world's most popular and iconic Cognac, crafted in Cognac, France. It is a masterful blend of approximately 40 distinct eaux-de-vie (grape brandies) selected from the premier growing areas of the Cognac region and matured for up to eight years in new French Limousin oak barrels. The result is a vibrant, full-bodied spirit that boasts an exquisite amber color. On the nose, it is highly expressive with rich aromas of toasted oak, fresh summer grapes, and sweet vanilla. The palate reveals a robust structure featuring toasted wood, brown sugar, and orchard fruits, culminating in a warm, clean, and beautifully balanced spice finish.
