Hennessy Pure White 700 ml

Hennessy Pure White is the cognac Americans cross borders for — the house sells it in the United States only through travel retail, which is exactly why bottles like this one get hunted. The master blender builds Pure White on eaux-de-vie with a dominance of Fins Bois fruit, selected for clarity and minimal wood influence, so the vine does the talking: spring flowers, grape, apple and pear on the nose, with a flicker of unripe apricot behind them. The palate stays vibrant and sharp — crushed grapes and white-flower honey where the classic expressions lean toffee and oak. Serve this 700ml bottling the island way, over ice with fresh fruit juice, or stretched into a light highball.
