Last Updated: November 1, 2021 Hennessy is a well-known brand, and while some of its products are famous and can be bought in just about any well-stocked liquor shop, some Hennessy products are very tough to find. One such is Hennessy Pure White, also known as White Hennessy or Hennessy White.
Details About Hennessy Pure White Cognac
It is nearly impossible to buy this in US liquor stores and is only available in duty-free shops, around the Caribbean, and in the Hennessy distillery in Cognac, France. Surprisingly, you can’t even find this listed on the official Hennessy website, so you can imagine what a rare occurrence it is.
Now let’s talk about the actual drink – this cognac is double-distilled brandy made from fermented grape mash bill. The grape varieties are carefully selected to bring out the distinct taste of this cognac. It is not aged like other cognac brandy drinks. Instead, it is a blend of Eaux-de-vie (distilled and double-distilled spirits) from two to 50 years old. Such a production method allows it to keep a distinct floral and fruity flavor, and it is light and easy to sip.
However, anyone who is not a fan of sipping cognac can easily use Hennessy White in their favorite concoction. The most popular cognac mixers are soda, coke, and ginger ale, but you can also mix it with ice and sip it like that.
For all the fans of unexpected drinks and wish to try this Hennessy product, you should visit a well-stocked duty-free shop or a larger liquor store in the popular Caribbean tourist spots. The Hennessy Pure White is made in small batches and is a pretty unique drink.
