Rich & spicy

Hennessy

Hennessy was founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irishman who settled in the town of Cognac in south-west France, and the house still has its home on the banks of the Charente. Its cognacs start with Ugni Blanc grapes from the region's top crus, which are made into wine, distilled into eaux-de-vie and aged in French oak.

The blending has been in the hands of the Fillioux family for generations. Start with Hennessy VS, a lively favourite for mixing, then step up to the rounder VSOP or the rich, complex XO. Try VS with ginger ale over plenty of ice, and save the XO for sipping slowly after dinner.
