FAQs For Hennessy VS Cognac

How is it made?

This VS expression is crafted from eaux‑de‑vie sourced across Cognac’s finest crus, each distilled in traditional Charentais stills to preserve purity and aromatic lift. Hennessy’s master blenders select components for their vibrancy, structure and ageing potential, ensuring consistency across generations.

The eaux‑de‑vie mature in French oak barrels for up to eight years, developing toasted‑oak warmth, fruit depth and refined spice. This careful maturation reflects Hennessy’s dedication to craftsmanship, blending precision and the expressive character of youthful Cognac.

What does VS mean?

VS stands for Very Special, meaning the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend has been aged for at least two years in oak barrels.

How should it be served?

It is very versatile and can be enjoyed:

  • Neat
  • Over ice
  • In cocktails
How long does Hennessy VS last after opening?

If stored properly, it can stay enjoyable for a long time, though it is best consumed within 1–2 years for optimal freshness.
