Cognac is known for its beautiful amber color and complex and nuanced flavors, which can include notes of fruit, vanilla, oak, and spices. The spirit is practically synonymous with the world-famous brand of Hennessy, and as a Regent guest, you get to embark on a flavorful journey.
Whether you’re curious about cognac or a Hennessy connoisseur, be sure to sign up for this Epicurean Tasting on your next luxury cruise. This is a phenomenal way to expand your palate and explore four Hennessy spirits under the masterful guidance of our onboard beverage team. The mixologists do an amazing job at introducing you to the legacy, savoir-faire and the history of cognac-making.
Served in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate its aromas and paired with small savory bites and sweets, you will sample various aged blends and special releases. Among them are flavorful and oaky Hennessy X.O, as well as James Hennessy with dominating hints of roasted almonds and Madagascar vanilla. Also, you’ll taste rarer blends like Hennessy X.X.O, a must-have for any avid collector, and the unique Paradis that blends rich and deep in notes of spice, fresh flowers and acacia honey. Each of these represents a different level of aging and quality, to best show the differences in flavor.
The Hennessy Journey is a 45-minute experience that you may reserve for a supplemental fee of $89. As this is an intimate tasting, space is limited to no more than 12 guests.
On board, you will delight in a broad range of cognac selections, including three V.S.O.P.s (Very Superior Old Pales)—Courvoisier, Rémy Martin and Sempe. Higher-end spirits like Louis XIII are also available on the optional Connoisseur Menu.
