✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy VS (Very Special) NBA Limited Edition 2024 celebrates the dynamic partnership between the historic French Cognac house and the National Basketball Association. Crafted primarily from the Ugni Blanc grape grown in the Cognac region, this vibrant spirit is a masterclass in consistency and blending. It comprises a selection of approximately 40 distinct eaux-de-vie, each aged for a minimum of two years in Limousin French oak casks. This specific limited edition brings a modern, energetic aesthetic to a historic blend first created in the mid-19th century. On the palate, it delivers Hennessy's signature profile of toasted almonds, fresh grapes, citrus zest, and a warm, oak-driven finish, bridging centuries of French distilling heritage with contemporary global 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.
