✨ 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, 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.
