Hennessy has been around for over 250 years and is one of the flagships of Cognac. Now, it controls half of the worlds production and Jamie Foxx blamed all his less prudent decisions on it. But when Spirit enthusiasts move to artisanal and small-batch expressions, even behemoths need to reinvent. In 2017, Hennessys Master Blender Yann Fillioux handed over the reins to his nephew Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, who became the 8th generation Master Blender. Continuing the ritzy Master Blenders series, he concocted Part III of the story.
The guardian of Hennessys legacy and unmistakable profile managed to create a unique and intimate expression of Cognac. Mr. Fillioux handpicked the best eaux-de-vie with the minimum age of 7 years. The light amber delight hides velvety and aristocratic notes of French sponge cake and toasted hazelnuts. The finish brings a touch of praline, making this cask strength Cognac a true luxury. Unlike other Hennessys Cognacs, this is a one-off creation, never to be made again, so its an extremely valuable addition to your home bar.
