✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy VS VHILS Limited Edition represents a striking intersection of urban contemporary art and centuries-old blending tradition. Created in collaboration with the acclaimed Portuguese street artist Alexandre Farto, known as VHILS, this release celebrates the shared philosophy of 'making the invisible visible.' Just as VHILS chisels away layers of urban walls to reveal hidden beauty, Hennessy's Master Blender selects and layers up to 40 different eaux-de-vie to craft the final blend. Sourced primarily from the Ugni Blanc grape grown across the Cognac region's diverse terroirs, the spirit is double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais stills and aged in toasted French Limousin oak casks. This limited edition bottle houses the classic Hennessy VS, renowned for its vibrant notes of toasted almond, fresh pear, and delicate French oak spices, wrapped in an artistic tribute to the passage of time and human heritage.
🍾 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.
