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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy in the historic town of Cognac, France, Hennessy has grown to become the world's most celebrated Cognac house. Headquartered on the banks of the Charente River along Rue de la Richonne, the house is renowned for its centuries-old blending heritage, famously guided by eight generations of master blenders from the Fillioux family. Utilizing traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, Hennessy ages its precious eaux-de-vie in French oak casks sourced from the Limousin forest to develop unparalleled complexity and depth. The estate's legendary portfolio is defined by iconic expressions such as the VSOP Privilège, the pioneering XO Cognac—a category first created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870—and the exquisite, ultra-premium Hennessy Paradis.
