We stock VSOP Privilège for Hennessy VS drinkers who want to taste what age does. It's softer and richer, with vanilla and spice. Lovely neat on ice. It's a great gift for someone who already drinks Hennessy VS, and it makes a rich Old Fashioned.
Tastes like: vanilla, cinnamon, toasted oak and baked fruit.

For the cognac nerds
- Made from: Ugni Blanc grapes from the Cognac region, which is divided into six crus.
- Still: Double distilled in traditional Charentais copper stills. Only the heart of the second run is kept.
- Selection: The Hennessy Tasting Committee meets every day at 11am to choose or reject eaux-de-vie.
- People: Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the eighth generation of the Fillioux family to blend for Hennessy.
- History: Created after an order in 1817 from the future King George IV of England.
Why it tastes like this: Cognac gets its fruit from the grapes and the copper stills, and its vanilla and spice from years in oak. The blender's job is to make it taste the same every year.
