The blend Hennessy created for him established the V.S.O.P grade, which today requires every eau-de-vie in the blend to be aged at least four years in oak. Hennessy, founded in 1765, draws its eaux-de-vie from the top growing areas of the Cognac region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aroma opens with spiced oranges, apricots and hints of cinnamon and clove. On the palate, the aromatic complexity creates a smooth, rounded Cognac that deepens to reveal candied fruits, vanilla and mild tobacco. A subtle sweetness runs throughout, balanced by a lingering bitterness and spice at the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic of the Cognac world, it is a reliable and elegant gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, over ice, or use it as the base for a Sidecar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCognac must be made from white grapes grown in the Cognac region of France, double distilled in copper pot stills and aged in French oak, with age categories such as VSOP and XO describing the minimum age of the youngest brandy in the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spiced orange, apricot, cinnamon and clove.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and rounded: candied fruit, vanilla and mild tobacco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle sweetness with lingering bitterness and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hennessy (founded 1765)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cognac V.S.O.P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ugni Blanc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of 60+ eaux-de-vie aged up to 15 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cognac, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or over ice, or mix a Sidecar.
