The Hennessy VSOP Chinese New Year Limited Edition for 2022 celebrates the Year of the Tiger, showcasing a vibrant artistic collaboration with Chinese artist Zhang Enli that represents strength, renewal, and vitality. This exceptional Cognac is crafted from a blend of up to 60 different eaux-de-vie, distilled primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from the premier crus of the Cognac region. Following traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, the liquid is aged in French Limousin oak casks. This meticulous process imparts a harmonious balance of toasted oak, fresh vanilla, clove, and delicate grape notes, bridging centuries-old French blending heritage with global festive traditions.

Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy in the historic town of Cognac, France, Hennessy has grown to become the world's most celebrated Cognac house. Headquartered on the banks of the Charente River along Rue de la Richonne, the house is renowned for its centuries-old blending heritage, famously guided by eight generations of master blenders from the Fillioux family. Utilizing traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, Hennessy ages its precious eaux-de-vie in French oak casks sourced from the Limousin forest to develop unparalleled complexity and depth. The estate's legendary portfolio is defined by iconic expressions such as the VSOP Privilège, the pioneering XO Cognac—a category first created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870—and the exquisite, ultra-premium Hennessy Paradis.
