✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) legacy dates back to 1817, when the future King George IV of Great Britain personally requested a unique pale cognac from the house. For the 2024 Chinese New Year, Hennessy celebrates the auspicious Year of the Dragon with a striking limited-edition release featuring artwork by visionary digital artist Yang Yongliang. This exceptional Cognac is crafted from a blend of up to sixty distinct eaux-de-vie, distilled predominantly from Ugni Blanc grapes grown across the premier crus of the Cognac region. Double-distilled in traditional copper alembic stills and matured in seasoned French oak casks, this blend offers a harmonious balance of strength and smoothness. The 2024 edition beautifully bridges centuries-old French blending heritage with the vibrant energy and symbolism of the lunar calendar.
