Review: Hennessy VSOP Privilege Cognac

by Jeff Ellingson

Hennessy VSOP Privilege Cognac is made from a blend of over 60 eaux-de-vie made from 100% Ugni grapes sourced from four crus, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois.  The wine is double distilled using iconic Charentais copper stills and aged for a minimum of four years in French oak barrels sourced form Limousin or Troncais forests.  The House of Hennessy was founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy who was an Irish officer in the army of Louis XV.  The Prince of Wales, a cognac connoisseur and the future King George IV of Great Briton personally requested a very special old pale from the House of Hennessy.  Delivered in 1818 this new classification, VSOP became a benchmark for all cognac makers.The aroma is oak, raisin, brown sugar, raspberry, cinnamon, vanilla, and grape.  Additional time in the glass brings out floral, and toffee notes.  The sweet apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon entry is joined by juicy grape.  This is the sweetest VSOP Cognac I’ve tasted.  I say this as fact, not as a criticism.  It fades with raspberry flavor that carries through a warm and semi dry finish that includes caramel, floral, tea, vanilla, and oak taste.  Hennessy VSOP Privilege is a sweet and tasty cognac.  The oak has more of a presence in its aroma and semidry mouth feel, than actual taste.
