✨ Technical Specifications
This striking limited edition of Hennessy's iconic VSOP Privilège represents a unique intersection of heritage blending and cutting-edge digital art. Created in collaboration with Turkish-American media artist Refik Anadol, the bottle's design was inspired by 3D data mapping of the master blenders' sensory experiences during tasting. Inside, the liquid remains the classic, world-renowned VSOP Privilège, crafted from a blend of approximately 60 different eaux-de-vie sourced from the Cognac region's premier crus. Primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes, these components are double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and aged in French oak casks. The resulting spirit is a masterclass in balance, offering harmonious notes of fresh fruit, vanilla, mild tobacco, and toasted oak.
