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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy in the historic town of Cognac, France, Hennessy has grown to become the world's most celebrated Cognac house. Headquartered on the banks of the Charente River along Rue de la Richonne, the house is renowned for its centuries-old blending heritage, famously guided by eight generations of master blenders from the Fillioux family. Utilizing traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, Hennessy ages its precious eaux-de-vie in French oak casks sourced from the Limousin forest to develop unparalleled complexity and depth. The estate's legendary portfolio is defined by iconic expressions such as the VSOP Privilège, the pioneering XO Cognac—a category first created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870—and the exquisite, ultra-premium Hennessy Paradis.
