✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy VS Faith XLVII Limited Edition is a striking collaboration that bridges the worlds of urban art and centuries-old blending heritage. Released as part of Hennessy's annual artistic partnership series, this bottling features artwork by the acclaimed South African interdisciplinary artist Faith XLVII, who drew inspiration from the natural elements, cycles of time, and the alchemy of blending eaux-de-vie. Inside the bottle is Hennessy's signature Very Special (VS) Cognac, a benchmark expression crafted from a blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the Fins Bois, Bons Bois, Borderies, and Grande and Petite Champagne crus. Distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes using traditional copper Charentais alembic stills, the spirit is aged in French Limousin oak casks, imparting its characteristic notes of toasted almond, brown sugar, and vibrant fruitiness balanced by a delicate touch of oak.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, Maison Hennessy is the world's leading Cognac house, nestled along the banks of the Charente River in Cognac, France. The house's enduring excellence is rooted in centuries of savoir-faire and a historic multi-generational collaboration with the Fillioux family of Master Blenders. Utilizing meticulously selected Ugni Blanc grapes from Cognac's finest crus—including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—Hennessy double-distills in traditional copper pot stills before patient maturation in fine-grained French oak casks. Renowned for setting international benchmarks, its iconic range spans the elegant VSOP Privilège and the original X.O—pioneered in 1870—to exceptional prestige assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy.
