✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy Limited Gold Edition VS brings a dazzling, celebratory aesthetic to the house's signature Very Special Cognac. Rooted in the historic Charente region of France, this expression is crafted from a meticulous blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced across the Cognac appellation's diverse terroirs. These spirits are aged in young French Limousin oak casks, imparting a robust wood character, lively toasted notes, and a vibrant fruitiness. The VS style traces its lineage back to 1865, when Maurice Hennessy created the star-based classification system. This limited gold bottling honors that rich legacy with a modern, luxurious presentation, delivering a palate defined by fresh toasted almonds, brown sugar, and a delicate hint of vine blossom.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, Maison Hennessy is the world's leading Cognac house, nestled along the banks of the Charente River in Cognac, France. The house's enduring excellence is rooted in centuries of savoir-faire and a historic multi-generational collaboration with the Fillioux family of Master Blenders. Utilizing meticulously selected Ugni Blanc grapes from Cognac's finest crus—including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—Hennessy double-distills in traditional copper pot stills before patient maturation in fine-grained French oak casks. Renowned for setting international benchmarks, its iconic range spans the elegant VSOP Privilège and the original X.O—pioneered in 1870—to exceptional prestige assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy.
