Hennessy Very Special (V.S) is the most popular cognac in the world and serves as the modern descendant of the original "Three Star" cognac created by Maurice Hennessy in 1865. It is a bold and energetic blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie, primarily from the premier growing regions of Cognac, aged for up to eight years in new French oak barrels. Unlike the older expressions in the Hennessy range that focus on mellow smoothness, the V.S is intentionally vibrant and robust, designed to retain its intense grape and nut character even when mixed. It is a global cultural icon, bridging the gap between traditional French luxury and modern urban lifestyle through its consistent quality and frequent high-profile artistic collaborations.
