Tasting Notes
Appearance
This iconic French Cognac presents a warm, golden amber colour with brilliant clarity and youthful luminosity, housed in the celebrated bottle redesigned by Pininfarina Design Studio in 2014 — a more contemporary, masculine and assertive shape that brings tension, intensity and power to one of the world’s most recognisable and beloved spirit bottles. Bold, vibrant and unmistakably Hennessy.
Aroma
The nose opens with initial aromas of fresh toast, roasted almond and brown sugar of genuine warmth and distinction, followed by a second wave of more subtle vine fruits that add a layer of delicate complexity and freshness. The aromatic intensity is immediately captivating — a bouquet that is fundamentally Hennessy, combining beguiling character with joyful intensity and toasty, fruity characteristics of outstanding appeal.
Palate
Rich and creamy on the palate, with vanilla adding an extra dimension of indulgent depth and warmth. The palate is clearly defined, well-rounded and exuberantly fresh — a Cognac of outstanding boldness and versatility that retains the freshness and fragrance of predominantly new oak barrel maturation. The finish is exuberantly fresh and floral — welcoming, vibrant and deeply satisfying.
Pairs With
Hennessy VS is a natural companion to classic cocktails, sophisticated mixed drinks, ginger beer, cola and lemonade, or enjoyed neat or over ice for a bolder tasting experience — its roundness and strength delivering endless versatility for high energy occasions, moments of sharing and any setting that calls for the world’s most popular Cognac.
