The Story Behind Hennessy V.S
Hennessy’s story began in 1765. Irish captain Richard Hennessy founded a cognac trading house in France that year. His vision laid the foundation for one of the world’s most iconic spirits houses.
In 1865, his great‑grandson Maurice Hennessy created the cognac classification system. He used stars to designate different quality levels. The three‑star cognac was born. Today, it’s known as V.S (Very Special). The “V.S” signifies that the youngest spirit has been aged for a minimum of two years.
Today, Hennessy V.S remains the world’s most popular cognac. It’s a benchmark in the art of blending. It’s a testament to centuries of expertise. This cognac honours the past while embracing the future. It’s a true icon of French craftsmanship. Discover more on the official Hennessy website.
