The modern company produces nearly two dozen core Spirits and many more collectors editions and limited releases as a subsidiary of <em>Moët Hennessy,</em> which in turn is owned in partnership by Diageo and LVMH.</p><p>Certainly, Hennessy’s classic V.S is — by far — <em>their most popular dram of</em> <em>Eaux de Vie.</em> It is a blend of approximately forty Eaux de Vie from local farms in the Cognac region aged in new European oak. The letter grading system was created by <em>Maurice Hennessy</em> in <em>1865</em>, so they take it very seriously. The V.S signifies that the youngest Spirit in this blend has been aged <em>a minimum of two years.</em></p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>Hennessy V.S is the modern version of their historic “3 Star” Cognac.</em></p>
