About this bottle

Yann Fillioux, Hennessy's 7th generation Master Blender, is the creator of this limited-edition blend. In collaboration with the brand's tasting committee, he selected 80 to 100 different eaux-de-vie, which were aged for 5 to 15 years in both young and old French oak casks. Bottled at its native cask strength of 43% ABV, the Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection N°1 made its debut in the United States in October 2016.

Miranda Rojas 4.5

The nose reveals rich, nutty, toffee, and fruit notes. The palate is sweet, creamy, buttery, and spicy with raisins. The finish is sweet, slightly spicy, and of medium length.

Eliana Willett 4.3

10 times superior to Hennessy Privilege. It's smooth and not overpowering. I strongly endorse it.

Cordell Culp 5.0

An excellent product at a fair price. Hennessy has never been this delightful.
