About This Cognac
Hennessy VS Cognac 70Cl is the flagship expression from one of the world's most celebrated Cognac houses and the bottle that has introduced millions of people to French Cognac. Produced in the Cognac region of France, Hennessy VS combines carefully selected eaux-de-vie that are matured in French oak casks before being expertly blended to create the house's signature style. The result is a premium Cognac that balances vibrant fruit, subtle vanilla, warming spice and toasted oak, making it approachable enough for newcomers while offering the refinement appreciated by experienced Cognac drinkers.
Unlike the larger 1L and 1.5L bottles, which are designed for regular entertaining and bigger occasions, the classic 70cl bottle focuses on the expression itself. It is the ideal everyday bottle for discovering Hennessy, enjoying at home or giving as a thoughtful gift. Its versatility means it performs just as well served neat or over ice as it does in classic Cognac cocktails, making it one of the most adaptable premium spirits available.
For generations, Hennessy VS has become synonymous with quality French Cognac thanks to its consistency, craftsmanship and approachable style. Whether you're building your first home bar or adding a trusted favourite to your collection, the classic 70cl bottle remains the benchmark for the Hennessy range.
