✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy's Very Special (VS) is an iconic pillar of the Cognac world, and the Historic Limited Edition releases celebrate the deep heritage of the house founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy. Crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested across the Cognac appellation's diverse terroirs, this expression relies on traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills. The resulting eaux-de-vie are aged in French Limousin oak casks for at least two years, though the master blender incorporates older, mature selections to achieve the signature Hennessy balance. This vibrant blend offers a lively profile defined by toasted oak, fresh hazelnuts, and subtle orchard fruit notes, capturing the youthful energy and historical continuity of the estate.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og er i dag verdens førende cognachus med beliggenhed ved bredden af Charente-floden i Cognac. Husets uforlignelige kvalitet bygger på århundreders savoir-faire og et historisk, traditionsrigt samarbejde gennem flere generationer med Fillioux-familiens Master Blenders. Hennessy udvælger nøje Ugni Blanc-druer fra Cognacs fineste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois – som dobbeltdestilleres i traditionelle kobberkedler og efterfølgende modnes tålmodigt på fintporede franske egetræsfade. Huset er berømt for at sætte internationale standarder, og det ikoniske sortiment spænder fra den elegante VSOP Privilège og den oprindelige X.O, skabt i 1870, til enestående prestigeblandinger som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy.
