Hennessy Very Special is a blend of eaux-de-vie aged in young oak barrels to create this most distinctive of cognacs. The half bottle is always à propos, whether enjoyed neat, on ice or with a mixer.
Nose: A bright and expressive bouquet of fresh fruits, including crisp apple and ripe grape, is balanced by subtle notes of toasted almonds and a gentle hint of oak. Light floral accents and a touch of vanilla add depth and complexity to the aroma.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied, with flavors of juicy apricot, ripe peach, and a touch of citrus zest. Sweet spices like cinnamon and vanilla follow, mingling with a trace of caramel and oak. The bold fruitiness is perfectly complemented by the warm spice and subtle wood notes.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit and vanilla, along with a final whisper of soft oak and a hint of spice, leaving a balanced, satisfying impression.
