JAMES HENNESSY IN A SHAKER

This remarkable blend is a call of the horizons: Silky, yet well structured, expanding across the palate with notes evoking blood peach and roasted almonds while giving way to an outstanding finish, it is best served: - Neat (Timeless)
- On the Rocks (Bold)
- or in a Shaker (Unexplored).
Unveiled in 2015 to mark Hennessy’s 250th anniversary to honor his legacy, it was created by Yann Fillioux, the House’s 7th-generation Master Blender, together with the Tasting Committee to be like a time capsule – a precious alchemy of nuances and smooth aromas, presented in a carafe designed by Marc Newson. Past meets present, opening up new sensory perspectives.

Maison Hennessy has been creating one of the finest cognacs since 1765. With the James Hennessy blend, the Tasting Committee today pays tribute to one of its historic figureheads: a pioneering entrepreneur and accomplished traveler, who always had an innate understanding of the need to explore new horizons.

This is an remarkable cognac that displays beautiful shades of amber with highlights of bronze, and offers layers of smooth, toasty aromas. Silky, yet well structured, this drink expands across the palate with notes reminiscent of blood peach and roasted almonds, while giving way to an outstanding finish. To be enjoyed neat or on ice.
