Hennessy releases a new “Bourbon-Like” spirit to win over whisky lovers –\u00a0Master Blender\u2019s Selection No. 1 is the first in a series of \u201crare\u201d limited edition expressions.<\/p>\n

For the introduction of Master Blender\u2019s Selection No. 1, Hennessy wanted to mark its historic ties with the US, which became its first export market more than 200 years ago.<\/p>\n

A single-batch blend of 80 to 100 eau-de-vie, Master Blender\u2019s Selection No. 1 is aged for up to 16 years in two- to four-year-old French oak barrels.<\/p>\n

Bottled at 43% abv, the limited edition offering is said to offer \u201ca round and rich subtlety\u201d with a bright amber colour and golden sheen.<\/p>\n

On the nose and palate, given notes include \u201clightly grilled, unshelled almonds and candied apricots with a faintly sweet flavour\u201d.<\/p>\n

Recommended serves for the new bottling include either neat or with three ice cubes.<\/p>\n

\"488x-1\"

Created by Hennessy\u2019s seventh generation master blender Yann Fillioux, the latest blend is \u201ca very personal signature\u201d that was only intended to be produced in a single, limited batch. Each bottle is signed and numbered by Fillioux.<\/p>\n

To accompany the launch, Hennessy partnered with New York-based artist CJ Hendry, who created a hand-drawn portrait of the bottle by using dozens of black ink pens.<\/p>\n

Once the supply of Master Blender\u2019s Section No. 1 runs out it will not be made available again, but Hennessy has stated on its website that there are plans for \u201ca Selection No. 2 in years to come\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hennessy Master Blender\u2019s Selection No. 1 is currently available exclusively in the US in 375ml at a RRP of US$45 and 750ml at a RRP of US$80.<\/p>\n
