Product Information

Plus, its bottle variety, whether the cheapest Hennessy V.S. or a more limited edition Hennessy beaute du siècle, showcases the brand’s masterful distillation, untapped taste, and unbeatable style. Over 250 years ago in rural Cognac, France, an Irish army officer distilled his first barrel of Cognac. The eponymous Richard Hennessy named the bottle as such, and then Tupac named a song after it.

Today, Hennessy is the leader in the Cognac business with international sales of around 50 million bottles a year. The company makes its biggest percentage of profit through international export.

Tasting Notes: With each sip, I discover a harmonious blend of flavors, from luscious fruits to delicate floral notes, all wrapped in a velvety texture. In the distillery tour, I learned that the 750 mL bottle contains Hennessy Edition Particulière cognac aged in oak barrels for over a century. The Hennessy cognac distillery was founded by Irish Jacobite military officer Richard Hennessy in 1765, who had served in the army of Louis XV. [7] [8] He retired to the Cognac region, and began distilling and exporting brandies, first to Britain and his native Ireland, closely followed by the United States. [8] In 1813 Richard Hennessy's son James Hennessy gave the company its trading name, Jas Hennessy & Co. [9] He was also responsible for choosing Jean Fillioux as the house's Master Blender. A member of the Fillioux family has occupied the role ever since, a business relationship that has lasted eight generations and more than 250 years. [10]
