Hennessy V.S. Cognac is very bold and opens with sweet wood and nutty fragrances that remind you that it is in the room. The palate is warm and filled with floral notes and a considerable amount of wood, which is not overpowering but boldly pleasing. The medium-length finish is marked with a spice that has a slight burn and leads into a lingering melt of wood.
Hennessy has been producing cognac in France since 1765 and ranks among the best-known houses in the category. Its X.O blend, created in 1870 by Master Blender Émile Fillioux for Maurice Hennessy, was the first cognac to carry the X.O label and remains recognized for its rich, smooth, balanced character.
