HENNESSY VERY SPECIAL EOY

• Country of Origin: France (specifically the Cognac region).

• Alcohol Volume (ABV): 40% (80 proof).

• Sugar Content: Approximately 1.9 g/L to 2 g/L.  Pairing Recommendations: Hennessy V.S is known for its robust and "exuberant" flavors, which allow it to stand up well to rich or spiced foods. 

• Seafood: Pairs excellently with steam-cooked lobster or rich dishes like lobster bisque, as the cognac's fruit notes complement delicate seafood flavors.

• Meats: Best matched with crispy pork belly or spiced beef. The acidity and alcohol cut through the fat of the meat, while the oak notes mirror roasted flavors.

• Desserts: Complements dark chocolate mousse, coffee tiramisu, or fruit-based desserts like crème brûlée.  Mixing Recommendations: Experts from Nestor Liquor and Hennessy suggest its versatility makes it ideal for several styles:

• The Classic Sidecar: 2 oz Hennessy V.S, 1 oz Cointreau, and 1 oz lemon juice. Shake with ice and strain into a sugar-rimmed glass.

• Hennessy Ginger: A simple, refreshing highball made by mixing Hennessy V.S with ginger ale or ginger beer and a squeeze of lime.

• Hennessy Berry Mojito: A fruity twist on the classic, using fresh berries, mint, lime juice, and simple syrup.

• Hennessy Margarita: Combines the cognac with tequila, lime, and orange liqueur for a sophisticated, "flavor-packed" version of the classic.
