Hennessy Special Cognac, 750 ml

Hennessy is a worldwide favorite, and this expression—VS—signifies its “very special” flavor and tradition of cognac making. It is the modern day equivalent of the original Hennessy Three-Star created in 1865. Selected from four premier growing areas, this is a blend of cognacs aged up to eight years. It achieves a remarkable balance with age, marrying the flavors of the fruit with deep oak notes. Savor its unique blend of warm, full-bodied flavors, neat, on ice or with a mixer.

Through the nose, Hennessy VS brings together an intense and fruity character with pleasantly oaky notes. When savored, powerful flavors suggest grilled almonds, supported by lively notes reminiscent of fresh grapes.
