✨ Tekniske specifikationer
In 2011, Hennessy bridged the gap between centuries-old French tradition and modern street culture by collaborating with the acclaimed Brooklyn-based artist KAWS (Brian Donnelly) to create the Hennessy VS KAWS Limited Edition. This striking bottle features KAWS's signature vibrant color palette and iconic 'XX' motif, wrapping the classic Hennessy VS bottle in contemporary pop art. Inside, the liquid remains the world-renowned Hennessy VS blend—a masterful assemblage of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the Cognac region. Double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and matured in Limousin oak casks, this Cognac offers a lively, robust character defined by toasted almonds, brown sugar, and a delicate hint of fruitiness, celebrating a historic meeting of classic craftsmanship and avant-garde design.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 ved Charente-flodens bredder af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og har lige siden defineret den moderne cognacs prestige og identitet. Huset henter primært Ugni Blanc-druer fra regionens fremmeste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois. Her sikrer den kalkrige undergrund og det tempererede, maritime mikroklima grundvine med en markant, spændstig syre. Efter traditionel dobbeltdestillation på bærmen i klassiske Charentais-kobberkedler modner de unge eaux-de-vie på finkornede franske egetræsfade fra Tronçais og Limousin, fordelt mellem både fugtige og tørre lagringskældre. Den minutiøse blanding varetages i dag af Renaud Fillioux de Gironde og husets velrenommerede smagekomité som ottende generation i Fillioux-dynastiet. Lige fra referenceaftapninger som V.S.O.P Privilège og X.O til mesterlige prestigeblend som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy inkarnerer huset en enestående renhed, struktur og århundreders uovertrufne blendingekspertise.
