Seventh generation Master Blender Yann Fillioux built it as a single batch from 80 to 100 hand-selected eaux-de-vie aged 5 to 15 years in both young and old French oak barrels. Freed from the demands of a continuous product, he could draw on low-volume stocks purely for the most interesting result, and each year's blend is made only once. Every bottle is numbered and signed by the Master Blender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Hennessy, Cognac, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlend: 80-100 eaux-de-vie aged 5-15 years in young and old French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Master Blender's Selection, No. 1 (2016), single batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV: 43% (86 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 375ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: Lightly grilled almonds, vanilla, toffee, orange peel, and floral top notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Candied apricots and sweet fruits, with oak spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and toasted hazelnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long, sweet, and full-bodied, with a slight nuttiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBottled at 43% to release powerful aromatics alongside delicate spice, this bright amber cognac is a limited, one-time blend and the starting point for a series collectors follow number by number.
