Tasting Notes

"From its deep color, vanilla aroma, and first sip, the initial impression of Hennessy's first Master Blender's Selection is of a spirit that will appeal to bourbon drinkers. On further tasting additional notes emerge: toffee, almond, and of course the fruitiness of cognac, all leading up to a pleasantly sweet finish. The oak influence is strong in this one, which will make American whiskey fans feel right at home. "
