Hennessy is a type of cognac, which is a specific kind of brandy. Cognac is a grape-based brandy produced in the Cognac region of southwestern France, made from distilled white wine grapes, primarily Ugni Blanc. Hennessy undergoes double distillation and aging in French oak barrels, which gives it its distinctive fruity flavors with notes of vanilla, oak, and spice. Its alcohol content typically ranges around 40% by volume, though some variants may be slightly higher.
