Hennessy VS Gift 750ml

About Hennessy VS Gift 750ml - Taste & Features

Lively and approachable, Hennessy VS shines for casual celebrations and easy sipping. At 0.4 ABV, it is a Cognac blend of Ugni Blanc eaux-de-vie distilled twice in copper pot stills, then aged at least two years in French oak per the VS grade, origin (Cognac, France).

Expect bright orchard fruit, vanilla, hints of toasted oak, and subtle spice with a supple, warming finish. Dark chocolate amplifies its cocoa and caramel tones, while Aged gouda highlights the spirit’s nuttiness and oak, creating a balanced sweet-savory pairing.

Producer Information: Hennessy

Hennessy is based in Cognac, France, and was founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy. Now part of Moët Hennessy within LVMH, the house works with growers across the Charente to select eaux-de-vie that are twice distilled in traditional Charentais copper stills, then matured in French oak casks before careful blending by the master blender to achieve consistent style. Aging in a vast library of barrels and tierçons across multiple crus underpins its approach to structure, texture, and longevity.

Its portfolio spans entry to prestige: Hennessy VS, VSOP Privilège, XO, XXO, Paradis, Paradis Impérial, Richard Hennessy, James Hennessy, Black, Pure White, Fine de Cognac, and the Master Blender’s Selection releases, plus travel retail exclusives and artist-edition bottles. The brand draws on classic cognac grapes including Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard, and Folignan sourced from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, and Bons Bois, yielding profiles that range from orchard fruit and citrus to vanilla, baking spice, dried flowers, cocoa, and rancio. High-end decanters crafted with Baccarat crystal and collaborations in cocktail culture broaden its presence across gifting, luxury hospitality, and mixology.
