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.
- Ageing: Eaux-de-vie aged at length in oak barrels.
- History: Created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for friends, and one of the first cognacs called XO.
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.
