Hennessy Very Special Founder Edition
Hennessy Very special limited edition by Maser and Conor Harrington
Though destiny would take him to far horizons, Richard Hennessy remained forever connected to two homelands: Ireland, the place of his birth, and France, where the town of Cognac sealed his fame. To honor the Maison’s founder on the 300th anniversary of his birth, Hennessy presents a special limited edition of V.S. created in collaboration with the Irish artistic duo Conor Harrington, of Cork, and the Dublin-based artist known as Maser.

Maison Hennessy pays tribute to Richard Hennessy’s homeland, a source of infinite inspiration.
ARTISTS
COLLABORATION
The Art of Color and Contrast
Richard Hennessy may have left Ireland, but the land of his birth never left him. In 2024, the Maison invited two of the country’s leading contemporary artists, Conor Harrington and Maser, to revisit the journey of Hennessy’s founder. The result is a sweeping saga told through the emotion of color and a fusion of abstract and figurative forms — a dynamic portrait of striking out for new horizons.
A heritage honored
In Cognac, the artists struck a natural complicity. Drawing inspiration from the Maison’s vineyards, cellars, and archives, they co-created an exceptional artwork in homage to Richard Hennessy’s life. Ireland - the infinitely inspiring homeland they share - comes to life in colors that flow from lush green to royal French blue, uniting cultures and retelling Richard’s legacy for a new generation.
