✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy VS Limited Edition by Futura represents a striking intersection of historic French craftsmanship and pioneering American street art. Released as a celebrated collaboration with the legendary Brooklyn-born graffiti artist Futura (Lenny McGurr), this bottling wraps Hennessy's signature Very Special Cognac in a vibrant, abstract design featuring his iconic helixes and energetic color pathways. Inside the bottle is the classic Hennessy VS blend, meticulously composed of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced from the Cognac region's diverse crus, primarily utilizing the Ugni Blanc grape. These eaux-de-vie are aged in young French Limousin oak casks, which impart robust toasted oak, grilled almond, and warm vanilla notes. This collaboration beautifully bridges the gap between the centuries-old blending heritage of the Fillioux family and the avant-garde energy of modern urban culture.
🍾 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.
