One Single Batch - Never To Be Seen Again.
At Maison Hennessy, it is said that cognac is not made, it is crafted. It is a precise blend of heritage, passion and transmission that are the essence of our craft.
Nothing captures this spirit of craftsmanship more than the Master Blender’s Selection. A unique series of limited edition releases, it is the result of our Master Blender’s freedom to elaborate a blend which, unlike other Hennessy cognacs, will not be replicated.
The Master Blender’s Selection N°5 is a personal blend and a distinctive expression of the Hennessy craft. This single-batch created from eaux-de-vie was hand-selected by Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde to pay tribute to exclusive distillers.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: The richest, most complex of the Master Blender’s Selection, N°5 presents deep amber hues with endless reflections of patinated gold that denote its excellent quality. Exceptional eaux-de-vie made by 18 family-run exclusive distillers were hand-selected for this cognac blend so that they could reveal their full potential.
Nose: A highly structured, multi-faceted and intense cognac, Master Blender Selection N° extends an invitation into a sophisticated world shaped by spice and candied orange, a beautiful aromatic complexity that deserves to be discovered note by note.
Palate: On the palate, the blend opens with delightful pastry notes of cocoa, sweet spices, and a comforting creaminess. There follow subtle notes of tobacco and candied orange that unfold in bursts, leading to a broader, enveloping expression of sweet, strong fruitiness.
"I’ve enjoyed all the Hennessy Master Blender’s releases to date, but this is probably my favorite of the bunch." - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (95 Points)
"This is an outstanding Cognac, the kind of expression you can wrap yourself around over a slow, quite evening. It’s rich and warming with a layered, complex and nuanced profile that slowly evolves as it opens. At an average retail price of around $100 it’s also an excellent value." - Joseph Micallef, Forbes
"This is a really tasty Cognac, with a soft and refined palate that is full of notes of candied orange, chocolate, and a variety of fruits and spices. A sip reveals flavors like cherry, fig, cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisin, along with notes of oak, vanilla, and bittersweet cocoa. The spirit is built for sipping instead of mixing—although go ahead make a Sazerac or Cognac Manhattan with it, if you are so inclined—and at 86 proof there is a bit of heft on the palate that you won’t find with the VS, VSOP, and even XO expressions." - Jonah Flicker, Robb Report
"If you're a Hennessy connoisseur, then the Master Blender's Selection No. 5 is going to be on your must-taste list. Both the aroma and flavor offer a distinctness that separates it from other cognac's in the maker's lineup and the larger market" - Dave McQuilling, Tasting Table
