HENNESSY MASTER BLENDER’S SELECTION N°5

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.

COLOR

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.

A Carte Blanche Blend

Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde unveils a cognac that casts Hennessy’s craftsmanship in a new light. “For this fifth edition, I wanted to pay tribute to behind-the-scenes artisans,” he says.

Master Blender Selection N°5: A New Approach

In an original approach, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde chose eaux-de-vie from only 18 exclusive distiller families who work exclusively for Hennessy. The result: a cognac blend of exquisite complementarity and balance.

A Unique Expression

After a harvest, wines are double-distilled on the lees. The Master Blender then brings out each eau-de-vie’s potential by taking the time to create links, a key process in Hennessy’s art of blending.
