Hennessy - Very Special 375ml

Hennessy is the world's largest Cognac house, founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy in the town of Cognac, France. Very Special, commonly known as VS, is the entry point into the Hennessy range and represents the house's most widely produced expression.

It is a blend of over 40 eaux-de-vie, each aged a minimum of two years in Limousin oak, drawn from across the major Cognac crus including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Borderies. The blending is overseen by the Hennessy tasting committee, which has maintained a consistent house style across generations.

The VS is deliberately crafted for versatility, performing well in cocktails such as the Sidecar or simply over ice, though it is approachable neat as well. The fruit-forward profile and relatively light oak influence make it an easy introduction to Cognac for those unfamiliar with the category.

At this price point, it offers reliable quality backed by one of the most recognized names in the spirits world. For those who want a dependable, mixable Cognac from a historically significant producer, this is a straightforward and honest choice.
