Hennessy VS Cognac

Hennessy Very Special (VS) Cognac stands as a hallmark of quality, consistency, and craftsmanship in the world of fine spirits. Created by one of the oldest Cognac houses in France, founded by Irish officer Richard Hennessy in 1765, this expression reflects over two centuries of savoir-faire and innovation. Today, Hennessy VS continues to represent the benchmark for modern cognac, with a dynamic flavor that appeals to both seasoned enthusiasts and those just beginning their journey into the world of eaux-de-vie.

What sets Hennessy VS apart is its bold, full-bodied character. It is meticulously blended from over 40 different eaux-de-vie (distilled wines), each selected for their vibrancy and potential to age gracefully. These eaux-de-vie are aged for up to 8 years in French oak barrels, which impart structure and depth. The result is a Cognac with remarkable balance—young, yet refined.

On the nose, you’re greeted with lively aromas of sweet fruit and toasted almonds. The palate follows with bursts of fresh grapes, creamy vanilla, a hint of citrus, and a trail of warm spices like cinnamon and clove. The oak aging brings subtle smokiness, adding layers of complexity without overwhelming the vibrant core.

Whether sipped neat to appreciate its depth, served over ice to mellow its power, or mixed into timeless cocktails, Hennessy VS is impressively adaptable. Its boldness also makes it a favorite in contemporary mixology, pairing seamlessly with ingredients from ginger beer to citrus-forward liqueurs.

Recognized globally and endorsed by artists, tastemakers, and connoisseurs, Hennessy VS is more than a drink—it’s a cultural icon. From celebrations to casual evenings, this Cognac delivers exceptional quality in every pour.
