The Maison Hennessy, founded in 1765, is globally recognized for its expertise and dedication to excellence. Each creation is the result of a long tradition and a savoir-faire passed down from generation to generation. Among its most recent creations, the Master Blender’s Selection N°5 stands out as a tribute to Hennessy’s exclusive distillers, a limited edition that embodies the very essence of the art of distillation from cru boilermakers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The Master Blender’s Selection N°5 pays tribute to 18 exclusive distillers who have been working for Hennessy for generations, some since before 1900. These craftsmen, often unknown to the general public, play a crucial role in the cognac creation process. Their expertise and commitment are reflected in every bottle of this limited edition. The eaux-de-vie selected for the Master Blender’s Selection N°5 come exclusively from these distillers, thus guaranteeing unequalled quality and authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the Master Assembler of Hennessy, has chosen eaux-de-vie from four distinct terroirs of the Cognac region, aged 7 to 12 years. This cognac aims to return to a classic style, designed to be consumed on ice. Bottled at 43 degrees, it offers an energetic and incisive taste experience, with notes of tangerine peel and woodiness.<\/p>\n\n Tasting this cognac reveals all the complexity and richness of its aromas and flavors. The cognac presents deep amber nuances with golden reflections. On the nose, it unveils an aromatic complexity marked by spices and candied orange notes. On the palate, the Master Blender’s Selection No. 5 offers pastry flavors of cocoa, sweet spices, followed by subtle touches of tobacco and candied orange. These notes evolve towards a fruity and enveloping expression, particularly appreciable when it is consumed on ice.<\/p>\n\n During our visit to Cognac, we had the privilege of meeting Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the man behind this exceptional creation. Renaud, heir to a long lineage of master blenders, perfectly embodies the tradition and innovation of Hennessy. Passionate and meticulous, he explained to us the process of selecting eaux-de-vie and the inspiration behind the Master Blender’s Selection N°5. His vision of cognac is both respectful of traditions and open to innovation, as evidenced by this unique edition.<\/p>\n\n\n The Master Blender’s Selection N°5 is a limited edition of only 15,000 bottles worldwide, available in France only at Cognac. Each bottle is offered at the price of 65€ for 50 cl, making this cognac a rare and precious piece for spirits enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n The Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection N°5 is a unique sensory experience that celebrates the craftsmanship and tradition of the distillers. It’s a discovery of the richness and diversity of eaux-de-vie selected by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde. Whether you are a cognac lover or a curious person wanting to discover an exceptional creation, this blend will seduce you with its complexity and finesse.
