Hennessy Master Blender's Selection No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 Cognac Bundle 4 x 750ml

The Hennessy Master Blender's Selection series is a landmark personal expression program from the world's leading Cognac house, with each numbered selection representing a singular creation crafted by the current generation master blender from a single batch of hand-selected eaux-de-vie that will never be reproduced. The complete set of No. 1 through No. 4 represents four distinct personal visions from across two generations of the Fillioux family, the eighth and fifth generation master blenders who have collectively shaped Hennessy's blending philosophy across the modern era. Each selection is a personal creation, never replicated, and each bottle is finished with a cork stopper and carries a distinct color-coded label: No. 1 in teal, No. 2 in gold, No. 3 in silver, and No. 4 in blue. At 43% ABV across all four expressions, the Master Blender's Selection series sits in a distinctive tier between the standard range and the ultra-prestige decanter releases, offering a direct and intimate window into the master blender's personal craft. This complete four-bottle bundle is a rare collector opportunity to own the full series in one acquisition.

Tasting Notes

Each selection in the series is a distinct single-batch creation with its own aromatic profile reflecting the master blender's personal cask choices and vision for that release. Across the four expressions, expect the characteristic Hennessy house style of rich fruit, toasted oak, and fine eaux-de-vie complexity, with each selection revealing different emphases between freshness and richness, florality and spice, reflecting the personal signature of the blender and the specific eaux-de-vie selected for each single batch.

FAQ

What makes the Master Blender's Selection series unique?
Each numbered selection is a personal creation by the sitting Hennessy master blender, crafted from a single batch of hand-selected eaux-de-vie and never reproduced. The bottles themselves confirm this: "A personal creation, never replicated." This means each selection is a finite expression that reflects one specific moment in the master blender's creative vision and cannot be revisited once the batch is exhausted.

Who are the master blenders behind the series?
Selections No. 1 and No. 2 were crafted by Yann Fillioux, 7th generation master blender of the Fillioux family, who shaped Hennessy's blending philosophy for decades. Selections No. 3 and No. 4 are the work of his successor Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the 8th generation master blender, continuing one of the most remarkable hereditary craft traditions in the spirits world.

How does the Master Blender's Selection compare to Hennessy XO?
Hennessy XO is a consistent multi-batch blend produced to a house specification across multiple casks. The Master Blender's Selection is a single-batch personal creation by one individual blender, distinct in character from every other Hennessy expression and never reproduced. It occupies a different tier of intimacy and rarity from the standard range.
