Hennessy has unveiled a new addition to its portfolio with the release of the limited edition Master Blender’s Selection N\u00b02.<\/p>\n
Hennessy, the world’s best-selling Cognac, has announced the release of Master Blender’s Selection N\u00b02, the second in a limited series and the last to reflect former Master Blender Yann Fillioux’s extraordinary sensory memory and impeccable knowledge of the Hennessy eaux-de-vie reserve, the largest of its kind in the world. Over his 50+ year tenure, Mr. Fillioux created some of the world’s most exclusive Cognacs and in July 2017, officially passed the torch to his successor, nephew and 8th generation Fillioux: Renaud Fillioux de Gironde.<\/p>\n
At Hennessy, the role and responsibilities of Master Blender come with a discreet luxury every artist dreams of: carte blanche to create a purely personal expression of the craft. Like a self-drawn portrait, Master Blender’s Selection N\u00b02 is an intimate expression of creativity and passion. A blend based purely on imagination and innovation, it follows its own rules, traveling an individual timeline from vineyard to bottle.<\/p>\n
To commemorate this pure expression of creativity, craftsmanship, savoir faire and passion, Hennessy has aligned with family-run, leather craft brand, Will Leather Goods, to produce a limited run of bespoke Master Blender’s Selection N\u00b02 “Silas” Backpacks. Embossed with the Master Blender’s Selection N\u00b02 emblem to reinforce themes of unparalleled craftsmanship, quality, and family that are at the heart of the collaboration – each handmade bag comes in a rich Cognac leather inspired by the blend’s gold tinged dark amber hue. Starting November 2017, the Master Blender’s Selection N\u00b02 “Silas” Backpack may be purchased online at www.willleathergoods.com<\/a>; available for a SRP of $450 while supplies last.<\/p>\n
