Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 2

Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 2 is a limited single-batch cognac from the Charente region of France, hand-selected by the Hennessy Master Blender — a personal blend outside the standard VSOP–XO hierarchy, produced once and never repeated.

The Master Blender's Selection series gives Hennessy's Master Blender the freedom to assemble a single batch on the basis of what produces the most compelling result, rather than matching a standing house flavor standard. No. 2 is the second chapter in that series — a one-time release drawn from the house's eaux-de-vie reserves, presented in a deep amber cognac with a smooth, sophisticated profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Master Blender's Selection differ from XO?

XO is assembled to a consistent house flavor standard year after year. The Master Blender's Selection is a one-time single batch assembled at the blender's discretion — more experimental and personal.

How does No. 2 fit in the series?

It is the second numbered release, following No. 1. Each draws on a different eaux-de-vie combination and cannot be repeated once stock is exhausted.

How should it be served?

Neat or over a large ice cube to appreciate the single-batch character.
