| In 1765, Richard Hennessy settled in Cognac where he founded the House which bears his name. Over the centuries, his descendants have built up the world's largest reserves of aged eaux-de-vie. A number of the very best vintages are stored in a separate cellar, traditionally known as the "Founder's cellar". Hennessy draws from this treasure to compose its Paradis Cognac |

| In 1865, inspired by the decorative handle of his office window, Maurice Hennessy created the star symbol that he would use to classify his cognacs. Thus was born the Three Star Cognac, better known today as VS. VS is a blend of more than 40 eaux de vie from the four premier growing areas of the cognac region. Hennessy V.S displays a beautifully bright golden colour. The powerful bouquet is dominated by overtones of oak, giving way to reveal a delicate scent of hazelnuts. Smooth and floral, V.S combines the sweetness of red fruits with a hint of vanilla that lingers on the palate. |

| In 1817, the future King George IV of England asked Hennessy to supply him with a very superior, old and pale cognac . By the end of the 19th century, V.S.O.P, as it had become known, had firmly established its reputation among the nobility. The product of a gradual blend of over 60 eaux de vie taken from the four leading vineyards in the Cognac region, V.S.O.P is slowly matured in old barrels from which most of the tannin has been extracted. A delicate blend of wood notes and spices, punctuated by the scent of cloves and cinnamon. Discreet, subtle and harmonious, it is characterized by a the fragrance of honey and a suggestion of liquorice. |

| Originally created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy using very old eaux de vie, X.O was reserved exclusively for his family and friends. X.O has always embodied the finest traditions of Hennessy cognac. X.O is blended from more than 100 eaux de vie specially selected from the four premier growing areas. Some of the eaux de vie used in the blend have been ageing in the Hennessy warehouses since the early part of this century. Rich, full-bodied and complex, X.O combines the spicy aromas of oak and leather with the sweeter essences of flowers and ripe fruit. Well-balanced, the initial flourish is dominated by the powerful suggestion of pepper and rancio, which testify to the long years it has spent being aged. Complex and long-lasting. 93 - Hennessy XO Cognac, France 750 ml (Tasted 1/1999). "Deep amber hue. Powerful, generous sweet wood and caramel aromas. An exceptionally smooth and viscous attack leads to a moderately full-bodied palate with explosive sweet flavors. Rich, warming finish. A big, sweet, smooth, eminently drinkable style." Tastings |
