✨ 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.
🍾 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.
