Hennessy V.S.O.P

A premium cognac that exemplifies sophistication and elegance, Hennessy V.S.O.P represents over 200 years of expertise in crafting exceptional spirits.

How It's Made

Hennessy V.S.O.P (Very Superior Old Pale) is crafted from a careful selection of eaux-de-vie, primarily from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions. These spirits are aged in French oak barrels for at least 4 years, though many components are aged much longer, creating a harmonious blend that showcases both youth and maturity.

Taste Profile

On the nose, delicate notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and clove dance with subtle hints of candied fruits. The palate experiences a beautiful balance of spicy oak and soft fruit notes, leading to a silky mouthfeel. The finish is remarkably smooth, with lingering notes of vanilla and light toasted oak.

Territory

Produced in the Cognac region of France, specifically in the town of Cognac, where the Hennessy Maison has been established since 1765. The surrounding vineyards, particularly those in Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, provide the perfect terroir for creating the Ugni Blanc grapes used in this cognac.

What to Expect

A versatile cognac that offers both complexity and approachability. Perfect for those new to cognac as well as experienced connoisseurs. Whether enjoyed neat or in premium cocktails, it delivers a consistently refined experience.
