Level up this summer with Hennessy: Elevate your favourite mix with a Hennessy twist

Hennessy, the world’s bestselling Cognac, marches headfirst into Summer and encourages Australian’s to elevate their favourite mix by adding a Hennessy twist.

Cognac is a type of Brandy, but it’s very special and has its own flavour. Cognac must be made from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the Cognac region of France and is subject to strict examinations to ensure it’s the ‘real deal’. With success and longevity rooted in the excellence Hennessy, each of which is born of a unique process of transmission from generation to generation.

With so few ingredients in classic cocktails, starting with a high-quality base spirit is essential. Hennessy V.S brings elegance and complexity to any mix while showcasing its versatile appeal. Whether it’s an Espresso Martini, Margarita, an Old Fashioned or the game changing mix, Hennessy x Ginger, Hennessy allows you to step it up this Summer.

The French consider Hennessy as a luxury icon within their art de vivre lifestyle, and now so will you! To ensure the best quality, Hennessy creates its Cognacs from only four “premier grand cru” wine growing areas of the Cognac “terroir”, and uses premium oak from the Limousine region, grown in forests that are now sustainably managed, with an age between 100 and 150 years old. Making Hennessy truly luxury and rare.

Hennessy V.S is bold and fragrant. Its character is uniquely Hennessy, a timeless choice with an intensity all its own. Hennessy V.S offers toasted and fruit notes, with a rich, clearly defined palate and a welcoming exuberance. Easy to enjoy, it’s a perfect Cognac for high-energy occasions and sharing the moment. You may think you’re meant to drink Hennessy V.S straight but the round and robust flavours make it the secret ingredient you’ve been waiting for and ideal for any cocktail; from classic recipes and sophisticated creations to easily mixed drinks.
