Hennessy Black Cognac is a blend of 35 to 45, pale- and gold-colored eaux-de-vies (Cognac is made from eaux-de-vie, which literally means "waters of life," produced by doubly distilling the white wines produced in any of the growth areas of Cognac, France.) Hennessy Black is then aged in older French oak barrels, that were previously used for Hennessy, for at least five years, which gives the cognac a lighter color and less of a wood influence in its taste profile.
The result: Hennessy Black is not only smooth, but versatile with floral notes and hints of citrus and honey and scents of jasmine, daffodils and orange flowers.

The result: Hennessy Black is not only smooth, but versatile with floral notes and hints of citrus and honey and scents of jasmine, daffodils and orange flowers.
Hennessy Black is the highly versatile, decidedly different new Cognac from the world's leading Cognac house. A delightful celebration of contrasts, intense yet surprisingly delicate and smooth. Hennessy Black enchants with distinct aromas of fresh fruit and white flowers.
The cognac's refined elegance conceals an unexpected smoothness. Elegant, floral, and distinctively refined. A fresh cognac with scents of jasmine, daffodils, and orange flowers that are delicately mixed with hints of citrus, honey and fresh grapes.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Pale gold.
Nose: Bold jasmine notes combined with citrus and honey notes.
Palate: Fresh cognac grapes with a touch of citrus.
About the Producer
A family-run group, LVMH strives to ensure the long-term development of each of its Houses in keeping with their identity, their heritage and their expertise.
The story of the Hennessy began with one man’s vision. An Irish officer in the service of the King of France, Richard Hennessy foresaw the extraordinary international commercial potential of Cognac’s eaux-de-vie. In 1765, he set up his own business and founded a House that has since met with unequaled and unwavering success.
That success is the result of a constant quest for excellence in the creation of exceptional cognacs, coupled with an ambitious business development strategy. At the end of the 18th century, Hennessy began to extend its reach across the globe, starting with the United States. At the beginning of the 19th century, the House set its sights on Australia and Southeast Asia and later conquered the South American, Japanese and Chinese markets. In 1860, a quarter of cognac exports bore the name Hennessy name.
In the 20th century, the work begun by the House’s founder was continued. A million cases were shipped in 1967, and the figure had doubled to two million just 20 years later. With over eight million cases sold in 2019, Hennessy is now the world’s leading premium spirits brand.
In addition to the fabulous commercial success of a brand present on every continent and in over 160 countries, Hennessy cognac is an ambassador for French art de vivre the world over.
