✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og er i dag verdens førende cognachus med beliggenhed ved bredden af Charente-floden i Cognac. Husets uforlignelige kvalitet bygger på århundreders savoir-faire og et historisk, traditionsrigt samarbejde gennem flere generationer med Fillioux-familiens Master Blenders. Hennessy udvælger nøje Ugni Blanc-druer fra Cognacs fineste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois – som dobbeltdestilleres i traditionelle kobberkedler og efterfølgende modnes tålmodigt på fintporede franske egetræsfade. Huset er berømt for at sætte internationale standarder, og det ikoniske sortiment spænder fra den elegante VSOP Privilège og den oprindelige X.O, skabt i 1870, til enestående prestigeblandinger som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy.
