About Hennessy 250th Anniversary Collectors Blend Cognac
When your cognac house turns 250, you kind of have to do something big.
Set aside the big anniversary, the 250 Collector Blend creation comes with master blender Yann Fillioux. An entry point to Hennessy’s premium offerings.
However, work on the 250 Collector Blend began almost a decade ago. First, Fillioux creation of a preliminary recipe from his then 40 years with the Maison. He then blended enough cognac to fill 250 Limousin oak barrels. Each held 250 liters. After marrying in new casks, the liquid was pulled out, diluted down to 40 percent alcohol. Then filled into 1-liter glass decanters with hefty metal stoppers, packaged in custom-designed display boxes.
Hennessy 250th Anniversary Tasting Notes
While the cognac has a reddish tone in the decanter, it’s much more golden in the glass. The nose is heavy on orange peel, cloves, milk chocolate, and cinnamon, with hints of bubble gum and cherries developing with time.
It’s extremely viscous, and when rolled around in the glass, it clings to the sides with almost no tears running down. That texture translates clearly as you take a sip, with cocoa powder, stewed fruits, and peach skin flavors hitting you first. As you swallow and exhale, a soft menthol flavor lingers, which is something I’ve never tasted in a cognac. It’s great.
- Color: Deep amber
- On the Nose: Rich, expressive, expensive, bitter orange, fresh nutmeg, liquorice, dried peppermint, spices
- On the Palate: Burst of flavor, spicy
- Finish: Complex, long
