Producer Information: Hennessy
Hennessy, founded in 1765 by Irishman Richard Hennessy in the heart of Cognac, France, has become synonymous with the art of cognac making. Rooted in the Charente region’s chalky soils and temperate climate, Hennessy’s production philosophy centers on meticulous grape selection—primarily Ugni Blanc—and double distillation in copper pot stills to capture delicate aromas. The house is distinguished by its use of one of the world’s largest reserves of eaux-de-vie, aged in French oak barrels sourced from sustainable forests. While Hennessy is globally associated with its signature cognacs like V.S and X.O., it also contributes to the spirits landscape through its parent company LVMH, which oversees other celebrated brands such as Glenmorangie Scotch whisky and Belvedere vodka, each reflecting a commitment to terroir-driven excellence and category leadership within their respective regions.

Cognac is a type of brandy that originates from the Cognac region in France, known for its unique production process and rich flavor profile. Made primarily from grapes such as Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard, Cognac undergoes double distillation in pot stills or column stills before being aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years. This aging process contributes to its complex character, often revealing notes of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and spice with floral undertones.
The texture of Cognac is silky and warming, providing a rich mouthfeel that enhances its enjoyment. It is commonly used in classic cocktails like the Sidecar and French 75 but can also be savored neat or on the rocks. The different classifications such as VS (Very Special), VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale), and XO (Extra Old) indicate varying aging periods and quality levels within this esteemed spirit category. Each sip offers a glimpse into the terroir of its origin, making Cognac a sophisticated choice for both casual drinkers and connoisseurs alike.
