✨ Technical Specifications
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.
