The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, the house of Hennessy has pioneered the craft of Cognac for over two and a half centuries in Cognac, France. Today, eighth-generation Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde continues the family-run tradition of selecting and aging the finest eaux-de-vie.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Hennessy distillery & production estate in the Cognac region of France, this spirit is blended from approximately 40 eaux-de-vie. These components are aged in young French Limousin oak casks to impart the brand's signature robust wood-forward character.
