It was in returning to the source that Hennessy created Hennessy Pure White, the most paradoxical and innovative of all spirits of the Maison Hennessy.

Hennessy Pure Whiteoriginated from four crus with a dominance from the Fins Bois, from which it gets its lightness of aroma and flavour. Theeaux-de-vieused in the blend are floral and fruity. They are immediately identifiable from the selection made by the Master Blender, by their distinct clearness, a trait little marked by the wood. They age only several years in old casks The achievement of stopped time.
