Hennessy Very Special Cognac, 70 cl

Product Information

The Hennessy Master Blend No3 is the first in the range to be created by 8th generation cellar master of the house, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde. And it’s purposefully nothing like the first two in the series, as each one boasts its own unique taste profile. In honor of the grand finale to Hennessy’s 250-year anniversary marathon, the house launched a spectacular special edition bottle of its Hennessy XO Exclusive Collection by British designer, Tom Dixon.

For this year’s VS interpretation, the artistically innovative pair were invited to create a dual design that expresses the pulse of street culture through freestyle dance, original music, and Hennessy’s first-ever fashion capsule collection. This collaboration marks new territory for the world’s biggest Cognac brand as it introduces not only two hypnotizing and analogous bottle designs to represent one limited edition, but also a multi-media project, conceived around the tagline “Move Out Loud”, that communicates the multi-faceted creative spirit of Hennessy, Les Twins, and France as a whole. To mark the momentous occasion of Yann Fillioux stepping down as the Cellar Master of Hennessy, the house released a small batch of a new collector’s cognac. Hennessy Artistry is a multidisciplinary initiative designed to center on music events, artistic innovation and taste experiences to celebrate Hennessy’s art of blending with local culture and flavors. This limited edition VS bottle honors a decade of incredible music and artist collaborations with Nigeria’s cultural circuit. Dixon had worked with Hennessy on releases of a similar design in the previous two years, producing platinum silver and deep copper versions of the bottle design. However, this third installment of the three-year collaboration is a dazzling gold rendition of the iconic XO carafe.Hennessy.

For this limited edition bottle, Fairey incorporated his own design with those that are significant to the history of the house of Hennessy. What makes the VSOP even more exclusive is the unique look of the bottle. Maeda’s work with his colleagues is a self-explanatory example of how art encroaches on technology. At the same time, the boundaries between the two areas are blurring: John's creative spirit is combined with Giorgia's detailed illustrations and Kaki's musical ability to let a visual keyboard blossom.

Today, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde is the head cellar master at Hennessy; he continues to represent this family tradition. He took over from Yann Fillioux in 2018. Hennessy invented the XO Cognac category in 1870 - characterized by its sinuous decanter that has been reimagined on countless occasions. They have since gone on to invent the XXO Cognac - challenging industry standards and yet remaining staunchly in touch with savoir-faire carefully assembled throughout the ages. As you might have guessed, this was another special edition cognac to celebrate the 250th anniversary in style: The Hennessy 250 Collector Blend.
