Hennessy Very Special is the quintessence of Hennessy and the flagship of the company's incredible distillery art. It is the result of an ambitious selection process of eaux-de-vie with a subtle and refined character, from which a truly delightful cognac has been produced. The eaux-de-vie selected for Hennessy Very Special are extremely delicate yet possess character. They are in a wonderful balance: neither too strong nor too gentle, with the potential to further develop throughout their maturation. They captivate with subtly balanced aromas that blend beautifully over time and retain the typical characteristics of their origin, namely the immediately recognizable aromas of fresh grapes and vine flowers. These eaux-de-vie are selected very early to allow them the necessary time for maturation and development of their overall potential before being used to create one of the most incomparable cognacs in its category. The maturation of Hennessy Very Special largely depends on the selection of new oak barrels exclusively from France, which give the cognac its intense expression. The maturation process is guided in the desired direction through the use of partially used barriques. This ensures the formation of warm and pleasant toasted notes that create a counterbalance without dominating the overall blending effect. It is a very dynamic maturation process during which the barriques are frequently exchanged. The younger eaux-de-vie are matured for 2 years. During this period, they are exposed to oxygen at regular intervals to support the formation of their typical crème brûlée and cane sugar aromas. Their vanilla notes give the cognac a creamy taste and emphasize the fruit. Blending is the final step in creating Hennessy Very Special. It does not create the aromas but develops the very particular characteristics of the cognac in terms of balance and consistency. The master blender and his tasting committee select some eaux-de-vie that, during maturation and under optimal conditions in new barriques, have reached the highest point of their expressive power and have fully developed their delicious toasted notes. This base blend is completed with additional eaux-de-vie from the extraordinary Hennessy reserves, which, thanks to their fruity or floral style, contribute to creating an absolutely perfect composition. Appearance is transparent and bright, with a splendid amber tone. Aroma features initial notes of fresh toasted bread, roasted almonds, and cane sugar, followed by a complementary second note of subtle grape aromas. The flavor intensity of the cognac is reflected in its tasty, creamy taste, which surprises with a vanilla dimension. It is rounded off by a particularly fresh and floral aftertaste.
