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.
🍾 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.
