Hennessy VSOP Privilege 40%vol. 1 Liter

Hennessy is a cognac distillery based in Cognac (France). The process of making cognac is long and sophisticated. The locally grown Ugni White grapes go through six important steps from the moment they are carefully picked from their vines to that first sip as the exceptional cognac in your glass. A double distillation is required to make cognac eau-de-vie. Approximately 12 kg of grapes are needed to obtain 1 liter of eau de vie. Eaux-de-vie and wood age together for years, exchanging flavors and colors. Each eau de vie requires years of work and rotation between different casks to reach its full complexity.

Inspired by the "Very Superior Old Pale" cognac commissioned by George IV, later King of England, in 1817, the Hennessy V.S.O.P draws its image in almost two centuries. Created to suit all occasions, it can be enjoyed on the rocks, as a long drink or even more creatively as part of a cocktail.

 On the nose, it initially appears spicy-sweet with its nuances of vanilla and accents of cloves and cinnamon. Subtle toasted notes follow, resulting from aging in oak barrels. On the palate it shows its balance of strength and finesse and creates a harmonious composition of maturity and power. This structure is softened by the fresh grape character right through to the long finish.
