✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy VS (Very Special) is the modern successor to the famous Three Star Cognac, a classification system first created in 1865 by Maurice Hennessy. Crafted from a blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the premier crus of the Cognac region, this iconic spirit represents the vibrant, robust heart of the Hennessy style. The grapes—predominantly Ugni Blanc—are harvested and fermented before undergoing traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills. The resulting eaux-de-vie are aged for a minimum of two years in French oak casks from the Limousin forest. This aging process imparts a rich golden color, toasted oak aromas, and notes of brown sugar, citrus, and fresh grapes. Hennessy VS is celebrated globally not only as a neat pour but also as a versatile cornerstone of classic cocktail culture, bridging centuries of French distilling heritage with modern mixology.
🍾 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.
