Tasting review

Eye: Light amber with a golden sheen

Nose: Fresh, light and aromatic, akin to those found in sweet pastries. In addition, there is a distinct flavour of toasted hazelnuts that highlights the blend’s unique character.

Palate: On the palate there is an unmistakable presence of aromas, such as soft textured pastries with a hint of praline –an experience of smoothness from start to finish.

Description

Description

The Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection No 3 Cognac is the long awaited third iteration of this craft series by the Cognac giant. It’s the first blend created by the 8th generation cellar master, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde. Once again a strictly limited edition, it’s an XO blend of 20 unique eaux-de-vie. And by unique, we really mean it. Because these are Cognacs that have not, and will never be used in any other Hennessy blend.

At 43% ABV, this is a very different Cognac to its predecessors (No 1 and No2). Exactly as Hennessy have promised, the delights that carry the name of ‘Master Blender’ are an artisan creation that have a unique taste profile, and are both affordable and much sought after.

No 3 is presented in the immediately recognizable bottle of the series. Contemporary, with clean lines, it’s one that you’ll be proud to display on top of your liquor cabinet. This is a very versatile XO: Perfect to enjoy in the traditional manner (neat, or perhaps over ice) but also just at home in a cocktail or as a long drink. It’s your Cognac, after all. So enjoy it in any way you please. A great addition to any collection. Or the perfect present for anyone who enjoys the finer things in life.

Nose ^*

What aromas do you get when you sniff the Cognac? Do you get hints of fruits or flowers - perhaps it's sweet? Is it intense or rather flat - and most importantly, is the nose coherent to taste and finish? The nose is the most important part when tasting Cognac.

Palate ^*

A small sip: Allow your taste buds in the various areas of your mouth to distinguish the different flavours. This part of cognac tasting is described as ‘the palate’. Don’t just swallow it down; allow the liquid to touch all the regions of the mouth. Doing this is necessary as the taste buds pick up contrasting flavours in the different areas of the mouth; on the tip of your tongue to the sides, for example.

Aftertaste (Finish) ^*

The ‘finish’ is the experience you get after you’ve swallowed the cognac. What flavours can you detect? Is it a flat or rough finish and rather sharp, or is it a slight "punch" you like? How long does the finish last? Also think about overall balance: How does the finish compare to nose and taste?

Value for money ^*

Do you like this Cognac in terms of taste but also presentation? What about the story and identity of this Cognac? Does all this translate to the price or do you think it's a bit overpriced? If you think this totally justifies the price, make it 5 stars!
