The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, the house of Hennessy has shaped the history of Cognac for over two and a half centuries. Located in Cognac, France, the brand grew into a global icon under the stewardship of successive generations of the Hennessy and Fillioux families of Master Blenders.

How it is made

The eaux-de-vie used in this VS blend are aged for up to eight years in new French Limousin oak barrels at the historic distillery & production estate in Cognac. This specific oak selection imparts the distinct toasted woodiness and vanilla-sweet structure that defines the classic Hennessy style.
