Hennessy is produced by Jas Hennessy & Co. in the Cognac region of France, where Ugni Blanc grapes are double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills. The resulting spirit is matured in oak casks, developing the complexity and warmth that define this iconic VS bottling. Hennessy pioneered the VS designation itself, cementing its place in spirits history.

Nose: Rich aromas of dried apple leather, nutmeg, cinnamon, and subtle floral notes, with a nutty warmth from the oak aging.

Palate: Bold and expressive, opening with milk chocolate and dark caramel before transitioning to baked apple, banana, peach, and a hint of vanilla.

Finish: Warming and persistent, with lingering spice, toasted oak, and a tangy liveliness that keeps the palate engaged.

Enjoy Hennessy VS neat to appreciate its full character, or over ice for a more mellow expression. It’s also a versatile base for classic cognac cocktails, from sidecars to French connections, and pairs beautifully with a dash of water to open up the aromatics.

Perfect for home bartenders, Cognac newcomers, and anyone seeking a reliable everyday pour that punches above its weight.
