✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy Privilege Collection 2 NYX VSOP is a striking limited-edition release that wraps the legendary VSOP blend in a sleek, light-reactive metallic bottle inspired by Nyx, the ancient Greek goddess of the night. The liquid inside remains the iconic VSOP Privilege, a historic blend first commissioned in 1817 by the future King George IV of England, who requested a 'Very Superior Old Pale' cognac. Crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested across the premier crus of the Cognac region, this expression is a masterclass in balance. The eaux-de-vie are double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and matured in seasoned French oak casks, resulting in a harmonious profile of toasted oak, fresh vanilla, clove, and delicate grape notes. This collector's edition bridges Hennessy's centuries-old blending heritage with contemporary nightlife culture.
