Blended from over 60 eaux-de-vie aged in French oak barrels, it delivers remarkable harmony — a hallmark of Hennessy’s mastery. This exclusive gift set includes two finely crafted glasses, making it an ideal choice for sharing refined moments or celebrating special occasions. Elegant, timeless, and meticulously composed, it embodies the spirit of excellence that defines Hennessy.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes Polished and harmonious, with ripe apricot, golden raisin, and orange peel over honeyed oak. Vanilla bean, almond nougat, and toffee glide into hints of baking spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—plus cocoa and a touch of dried fig. The palate is satin-smooth and medium-full, finishing long and warm with candied citrus, toasted oak, and a gentle rancio lift.
Food Pairings Perfect after dinner with 70–80% dark chocolate, orange–almond tart, crème brûlée, or hazelnut praline. For savory matches, think duck breast with cherry jus, chicken liver pâté on brioche, or lamb tagine with apricot. It also sings with salty, characterful cheeses—aged Comté, Parmesan, or blue—and with simple snacks like roasted nuts and dates; a splash over vanilla gelato or alongside espresso is a quietly perfect finish.
Craftsmanship
Hennessy is one of the most storied names in the world of cognac, with a heritage that spans nearly three centuries. The house is built on a foundation of mastery in blending, elegance in style, and respect for tradition — qualities that distinguish Hennessy as a benchmark of excellence.
From its founding in 1765, Hennessy set out to elevate cognac beyond regional names and into a global legacy. It places great emphasis on sourcing eaux-de-vie from premier growing regions (crus) in Cognac, maturing them in fine French oak casks, and blending with precision to achieve balance, complexity, and consistency across vintages.
Hennessy is as much about art as it is about alcohol. Innovation, limited editions, and collaborations with artists and designers have become integral to the brand’s identity — marrying the craft of spirits with culture and creativity. Yet throughout it all, Hennessy remains anchored by rigorous standards, deep cellars, and a dedication to refined taste.
In short: Hennessy isn’t just a cognac house — it’s a tradition, a master blender’s canvas, and a global symbol of sophistication, consistency, and relentless pursuit of character.
