✨ 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 along the banks of the Charente River, Maison Hennessy has defined the architecture and prestige of modern Cognac. Sourcing primarily Ugni Blanc across the region's elite crus—notably Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—the house relies on chalk-dense, limestone-rich soils and a temperate maritime microclimate to achieve base wines of searing natural acidity. Double-distilled on the lees in traditional Charentais copper pot stills, the unaged eaux-de-vie mature inside fine-grained French Tronçais and Limousin oak casks, orchestrated through humid and dry aging cellars. The blending process has been shepherded across eight generations of the Fillioux dynasty, overseen today by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde and the venerated Tasting Committee. From benchmark bottlings such as V.S.O.P Privilège and X.O to crowning legacy assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy, the house embodies exceptional purity, structure, and centuries of architectural blending finesse.
