Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection is a unique, limited edition blend.
At Hennessy, cognac making is a living art that thrives on patience, passion and a unique know-how that has been cultivated for over 250 years.
The fruit of generosity, Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection can only come into existence with time, the highest finest raw materials and the know-how of many skilled craftspeople. Little by little, the eaux-de-vie they produce come together in a rare and precious expression of craft.
NEW LOOK, TIMELESS BLEND
Sleek silhouette: Hennessy V.S.O.P's iconic silhouette has evolved, with an uninterrupted, harmonious line that traces the outside of the bottle. The result is a more elegantly subtle shape with a refined stature. The new pedestal delicately reflects light, creating the illusion of a drop of the precious cognac in the center.
Honoring Hennessy's know-how and heritage: The revisited bras armé is engraved on the bottle, surrounded by two half circles. This new Hennessy V.S.O.P "shield" is a nod to the genesis of Hennessy's oldest assemblage.
A sustainable top: The new bottle stopper unveils an elegant sustainable cork made of natural wood* to preserve the precious liquid. Thanks to this organic, unique and dynamic material, each bottle of Hennessy V.S.O.P is one of a kind. (*sourced in FSC-certified forests)
Refined design: The new Hennessy V.S.O.P design is embellished with luxurious and eco-friendly details such as golden graphics and embossing. Rich adornments include the eye-catching red color of the giftbox and its non-coated paper for a softer touch.
HERITAGE, EXPERTISE AND TASTING EXPERIENCE
Blended for celebration: Hennessy V.S.O.P was commissioned in 1817 by George IV, the future King of England, for a moment of revelry. Today, our eighth Hennessy Master Blender from the same family, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde crafts this passionate blend with the same original intention: to delight everyone who will savor it together.
ONE passionate achievement : This blend represents Hennessy’s first passionate achievement, created after James Hennessy met Jean Fillioux and the two decided to combine their respective expertise in 1806. Every Hennessy V.S.O.P creation is the product of more than two centuries of expertise, which includes the meticulous selection, expressive maturation and expert blending of precious "eaux-de-vie".
Delightful at first sip: Smooth, pleasing and all-embracing, Hennessy V.S.O.P is delightful at first sip. With its charming taste, it’s an engaging blend and a very multifaceted cognac that can be savored however you prefer: neat, on ice, on the rocks or in a sublime range of long drinks and cocktails.
Tasting colour: The blend is characterized by a light amber color with a slightly tarnished golden robe.
Tasting nose: The nose of the blend delivers an aromatic liveliness with notes of fresh apricot, almost-candied orange peel and hints of fruity spices. This single-batch is not overly woodsy, light and warm.
Tasting palate: On the palate, there is a sense of “crispiness”, the blend seems to crunch under the tongue. Touches of spices make a subtle appearance, adding warmth, a direct result of aging the eaux-de-vie in younger red oak barrels. The blend can be described as mastered simplicity with a modern touch of sophistication.
