Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection No. 5 Cognac

At 86 proof (43% ABV), Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection No. 5 Cognac brings a firm foundation to an approachable flavor profile. Candied orange gives it a bright, sweet opening, while a pastry note adds a softer impression without turning heavy. The flavors are easy to follow, making this a straightforward introduction to the selection.

Cocoa lends a darker tone, and tobacco brings a dry counterpoint to the sweeter side. Those contrasts keep the Cognac from feeling too rich or one-dimensional. Enjoy it neat to keep the individual notes clear, or pour it over ice for a cooler, more relaxed serve. From the Cognac region of France, this 750 mL release balances fruit, sweetness, and savory depth in a style that is direct and easy to understand.
