The Hennessy VS Scott Campbell Limited Edition represents a striking intersection of traditional French craftsmanship and contemporary American tattoo artistry. Released as part of Hennessy's celebrated annual artist partnership series, this bottling features intricate, rebellious label designs by the acclaimed Brooklyn-based tattoo artist Scott Campbell. Inside the bottle, the liquid is Hennessy’s signature Very Special (VS) Cognac, a masterful blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the Ugni Blanc grapes of the Cognac region. These spirits are double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembics and matured in toasted French Limousin oak casks. This process yields a vibrant, robust spirit characterized by notes of toasted almonds, fresh brown sugar, and a lively, warming oak finish, celebrating both the heritage of the Fillioux blending dynasty and modern street 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.
