Often, one hears the question “where can I buy the White Hennessy Cognac ?”. Now, first of all it is mainly available in Europe and the Carribean, Bahamas is often mentioned in that context. The White Hennessy was also seen in New York liquor stores, but probably is not available in your region.

Wait, first I want to learn more about Cognac!
You want to know more about Cognac, the great french brandy? Cognac Expert is the best place for this. Read a comprehensible introduction to What is Cognac – an introduction. Or you might want to lean more about topics like How to drink Cognac or How to taste Cognac; because there actually is a difference between those two questions. Also, see our section with many general articles about Cognac: What is Cognac?
And if you confused black and white: Read the article about Hennessy Black, see at the bottom of the page at ‘related articles’.
Hennessy White, Pure White (pic Pictr 30D)
Hennessy white comes from the world’s leading Cognac house. Not only does the Cognac have an ABV of 40% but the Cognac trading house of Hennessy also controls about 40% of the worldwide Cognac market.
The white “Henny” is a modern product: Not only the design of the bottle but also the spirit itself, as you can drink it neat or have it as ingredient for cocktails and longdrinks.

Hennessy Pure White is clearly also a marketing product, there must be a reason for the exclusive distribution in the Carribean, perhaps because the Carribean is associated with being white (Raffaelo commercial, coconut, white beaches etc.)
But is it called “white” and “pure” because it’s produced with white wine or white grapes? The answer to that is, that Cognac is generally speaking produced with three different grape types , find an article about those grape varieties. No, Hennessy Pure White is simply a particular blend of the eaux-de-vie used in Charente.
How does Hennessy White taste?
The Cognac has a character of its own, comes in a 70cl glass bottle. Here are some tasting notes
The eye: bright honey
On the nose: light aroma, not too agressive
The taste: fresh, some fruits and nice flowery notes
Finish: smooth aroma and coherent with the fruity note
Blend: eaux-de-vie coming from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois (like every Cognac, this is a double distillation product)
Age: eaux-de-vie between 15 and 50 years
The Price: $40-$45
Go to the product and detail page of Hennessy Pure White.
This could also be of interest to you: If you like the White Hennessy, take a look at the Hennessy Black review.
And it is true, that this bottle is rather rare in the United States. The Pure White Cognac is produced with grapes from the Cognac region, and distilled twice. You probably find an auction on ebay, where you can buy the bottle – but it’ll be expensive.

Not the greatest hennessey product out. It is definetly the worst.
i have 2 bottles of hen white.have not tried them yet but will post revew when i do.
tasted it last w/e, was very impressed with the smoothness and taste
Recently, I’ve ventured into the Hennesy realm. Over the years, I’ve been an exclusive Jack Daniels drinker leaving the Hennesy to my family and friends. Then it happened, I purchased a bottle of Privelige and my life and taste buds were changed dramatically.
At any rate, I came across Hennesy PURE WHITE while in the Bahamas this past July and, at $35/bottle, 2 bottles had my name on them. I’ve yet to open one, but have read every piece of literature written on them. At present, I’m looking forward to opening one July 2011 when I’ll be heading back to the Bahamas to replace one as one is opened. I’m hoping to hold out that long.
I need to know where can I purchase Hennessy Pure White to have shipped to me in the United States? Looking to purchase a full case

Hello my name is Robert. And I would like to know where would I be able to purchase Hennessy purewhite?I am in Kansas city, Missouri. I recently visited the island of Antigua and purchased a couple of bottles there. But I can not find any in Missouri. Can I get some direction as to where I can purchase this fine cognac?
This is the best tasting Hennessy out there no doubt about it. If you can’t find it in your local liquor store it’s because it’s NOT sold in the US. If you aren’t going to Europe or the Bahamas, Puerto Rico then check out eBay. There’s ALWAYS bottles on there, I’ve posted a few myself when I go to the islands, & when I don’t have any I’ll purchase from eBay as well. Hope this helps
Thank you. That does help. I guess ill be looking on eBay. Or just taking another trip back over seas.
