Cognacs VS Hennessy Strana 1 z 1

VS (Very Special) cognacs belong to the youngest category of cognac. They contain eaux-de-vie aged for at least two years and are sometimes marked with three stars. Thanks to their shorter ageing, they retain a fresh and direct flavour that defines this style.

Taste and use

VS cognacs are smooth, with pronounced fruity and spicy notes. Compared to older categories, they have a livelier and more vibrant character, making them a popular choice for mixing cocktails or serving over ice. For many, it’s the first step into the world of cognac, offering a chance to explore younger, fresher flavours before moving on to richer and more mature blends.

Next steps in the world of cognac

If you’ve developed a taste for cognac, your next stop should be more mature and complex varieties like VSOP cognac or XO cognac, which offer a smoother texture and longer ageing.
