Hennessy - Cognac - VS Ashpool

Cognac Hennessy Very Special has been imposing its inimitable style for over 150 years. Reflecting Hennessy's expertise, it is the fruit of a long process of selecting eaux-de-vie that are blended and aged in barrels with the same consistency. Hennessy VS combines a frank, fruity character with lively woody notes, immediately noticeable on the nose, associated with toastiness, brown sugar and some more subtle accents of vine fruit. The slender, intense palate extends this register of creamy flavors, adding a vanilla dimension to the whole. A few fresh, spontaneous floral notes round out the warm vitality.

Its longevity is ensured by the uninterrupted transmission of a steadfast expertise, embodied by eight generations of cellar masters who have succeeded one another since its inception, today represented by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde.
