Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 1

Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 1

In 1765 Richard Hennessy, an Irish officer serving in the army of Louis XV, founded Maison Hennessy with a bold vision: to create the world's finest cognacs. Today, Hennessy the brand is all but synonymous with cognac. As a tribute to a very important moment in Hennessy's history, the first shipment of cognac to the United States in 1794, the Master Blender's Selection No. 1 is making its debut in the North American market. The first in a new craft series showcasing the best of the world's largest cognac reserve, Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 1 is a special creation by Yan Fillioux, Hennessy's 7th generation master blender. A unique blend, it uses Hennessy's private reserve of eaux-de-vie and aged in both young and old French Oak barrels. Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 1 cognac is crafted as a single batch at 43% in order to release powerful aromatic tones combined with delicate spicy notes. It's a full-bodied, refined blend bright amber in color with a golden sheen. It has an aroma of lightly grilled almonds that gives way to a palate of candied apricots and a sweet finish. Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 1 Cognac is a single batch, limited edition series. Each bottle is numbered and signed by the Master Blender. Pick up a limited edition bottle today! Please note this is a limited pre-sale for members, bottles will ship in early November.
