At Maison Hennessy, it is said that Cognac is not made, it is crafted. It is a precise blend of heritage, passion and transmission that are the essence of our craft. Nothing captures the spirit of craftsmanship more than the Master Blender’s Selection – a unique series of limited edition blends, the third of which will be released exclusively in the United States, followed by select countries.
For the third edition in the series, Maison Hennessy is pleased to present the very first creation of Renaud Fillioux de Gironde – 8th generation Master Blender and successor to Master Blender Yann Fillioux. This blend embodies his creativity, imagination and predilection for certain eaux-de-vie, which he would like for both Cognac novices and connoisseurs to take pleasure in discovering.
Each edition has its own selection and specificity. This 43% Cognac is aged in both young and old French oak barrels with moderate level of lees in the eaux-de-vie, to release a lightness and an elegance. The blend has an unmistakable personality that is best described as persistent with a touch of subtleness.
Color - The blend displays a light amber color with a golden sheen.
Nose - Certain aromatic tones can be perceived that are fresh and light, akin to those found in sweet pastries. In addition, there is a distinct flavor of toasted hazelnuts that highlights the blend’s unique character.
Palate - On the palate, there is an unmistakable presence of aromas such as soft textured pastries with a hint of praline. The blend is best described as elegant and subtle – an experience of smoothness from start to finish.
