Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection No. 5 Cognac 750ml
Experience the next chapter in Hennessy’s legacy of craftsmanship with Master Blender’s Selection No. 5, a rare single-batch cognac crafted by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the Maison’s eighth-generation Master Blender.
Continuing the spirit of innovation that defines the series, Selection No. 5 represents a perfect harmony of freshness, roundness, and depth — a tribute to the art of blending and the patience of time. Each component eau-de-vie is hand-selected from Hennessy’s exclusive reserves and aged in young French oak barrels to highlight its vibrant complexity.
The result is a silky, aromatic cognac with layers of toffee, roasted hazelnut, and stone fruit, balanced by warm spices and subtle floral undertones. Bottled at cask strength, it delivers an authentic, full-bodied experience — a collector’s piece for those who appreciate Hennessy’s most creative expressions.

Palate: Velvety and vibrant — flavors of caramel, baked pear, cinnamon, and toasted almonds evolve with depth and roundness.
Finish: Long, warm, and elegant, with lingering notes of vanilla and nutmeg.
