Hennessy VS Cognac

Hennessy Very Special is a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced from the most esteemed crus of the Cognac region in France. The VS (Very Special) designation on a bottle of Hennessy means that the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend has been aged for at least two years in French oak barrels. However, the house of Hennessy is known for using eaux-de-vie that have often matured longer than this legal minimum. This additional aging period contributes to the smoothness and the development of more complex aromas in the final cognac. The years of maturation in oak are essential for the development of the flavor.
