✨ Technical Specifications
A celebratory fusion of sports culture and historic craftsmanship, the Hennessy NBA Limited Edition VSOP 2024 brings a modern edge to a legendary blend. While the vibrant packaging honors Hennessy's role as the official spirit of the NBA, the liquid inside remains the timeless VSOP Privilege. The origin of this iconic blend dates back to 1817, when the future King George IV of Great Britain requested a 'Very Superior Old Pale' cognac from the house. Crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested across the premier crus of the Cognac region, the eaux-de-vie are double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills. They are then aged in French oak casks, resulting in a harmonious blend of approximately 60 different eaux-de-vie that balance strength and smoothness with notes of vanilla, clove, and toasted wood.
