- Description
- The benchmark VS from Hennessy's 'Big Four' reputation, this entry-level expression balances accessibility with the house's signature style through eaux-de-vie aged in French oak. Clean and bright on the palate with subtle vanilla and stone fruit, it serves as an accessible introduction to Cognac's core character. Light and refreshing in texture, it finishes with gentle oak spice. Ideal as an aperitif or everyday digestif that doesn't require ceremony.
