✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 ved Charente-flodens bredder af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og har lige siden defineret den moderne cognacs prestige og identitet. Huset henter primært Ugni Blanc-druer fra regionens fremmeste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois. Her sikrer den kalkrige undergrund og det tempererede, maritime mikroklima grundvine med en markant, spændstig syre. Efter traditionel dobbeltdestillation på bærmen i klassiske Charentais-kobberkedler modner de unge eaux-de-vie på finkornede franske egetræsfade fra Tronçais og Limousin, fordelt mellem både fugtige og tørre lagringskældre. Den minutiøse blanding varetages i dag af Renaud Fillioux de Gironde og husets velrenommerede smagekomité som ottende generation i Fillioux-dynastiet. Lige fra referenceaftapninger som V.S.O.P Privilège og X.O til mesterlige prestigeblend som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy inkarnerer huset en enestående renhed, struktur og århundreders uovertrufne blendingekspertise.
