Hennessy

Pricing of Hennessy can differ massively, with most bottles averaging at £35 - £40. For those with a bit more cash to splash we also have a number of bottles in the more exclusive price region, including the rare Hennessy Paradis Imperial 70cl at £2,199.99.

For a drink this classy, there's only one way to drink Hennessy cognac. Neat! Although it's also acceptable to add ice or a dash of water. It is also recommended to serve in a tulip-shaped glass, as the shape encourages the aromas to settle on the top.

Virtually all of the Hennessy bottles in our range contain 40% alcohol volume, whilst Hennessy Black is notched up slightly at 43%.

As with all cognac, Hennessy is made from a white wine using certain grapes from the Cognac region of France. The wine then goes through a double distilling process in copper pot stills, before being aged for two years in French oak barrels. This production process is the legal requirement to classify it as a cognac and not a brandy.

Hennessy is most certainly cognac, as it's made in France. Actually in Cognac to be more precise. Cognac (the drink) is a variant of brandy, and simply gets its name from being made in that region (providing it adheres to traditional production methods). Meanwhile, all brandy made outside of France is categorised as.... you guessed it. Brandy!
