Since 1765, Maison Hennessy has perfected the art of cognac-making, a tradition perpetuated by eight generations of Master Blenders.

With the James Hennessy blend, it pays tribute to one of its historic figureheads: James Hennessy, the eldest son of Maison’s founder, Richard Hennessy. He was a pioneering entrepreneur and accomplished traveler who endeavoured to spread the success of Hennessy far beyond the quays of Cognac. Marc Newson’s design is impressive. A delicate teardrop decanter beautifully holds the softness of the mahogany hue. It is one that every collector will appreciate.

Tasting Notes:
Colour:
Beautiful shades of amber punctuated by soft highlights of pink and bronze.

Aroma:
Suggestions of mild tobacco and light wisps of smoke combine subtly with toasty notes. Hints of roasted almonds intermingle and merge in complete harmony with Madagascar vanilla to produce soft and delicately perfumed notes.

Palate:
A palate of elegance and restraint, enhanced by fresher flavors reminiscent of apricot, then pistachio and blood peach. This fine cognac, silky yet well structured, evokes both the suppleness of a finely woven fabric and the airy lightness of a gnoise sponge.
