THE FUTURE OF MASTERY

Hennessy V.S.O.P commemorates its anniversary. 200 years of mastery and savoir-faire shaped by generations of talents. To pay tribute to our glorious past, we decided to celebrate the future.

CRAFTING THE FUTURE

We invited an incredibly diverse group of thought leaders and makers to share their visions on crafting the future.

Cognac became the epicenter of future-thinking.

BLENDING TALENTS

BLENDING TALENTS

For centuries, Hennessy’s Tasting Committee blended the finest cognac from our eaux-de-vie inventory, crafting each year harmony from complexity. Our goal is to prepare for the next 200 years, crafting the next genrations of Mastery.

OPENING NEW HORIZONS

OPENING NEW HORIZONS

We invited in Cognac the masters of tomorrow—from a plasma physicist to a chef, a digital artist to a former astronaut. Hosting this unique assembly, Hennessy’s 8th Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde launched the discussion by asking simply, “Can we push the boundary of quality?”

CRAFTING THE FUTURE

The guests were invited for a 3-day retreat to discuss and dive into the major questions: How do we adapt to the changing environment? How will the definition of craftsmanship shift in the age of artificial intelligence?

And as we move forward ethically and sustainably, how do we create inclusive spaces? As this unusual anniversary party was over, change was still on everyone’s mind.

HENNESSY V.S.O.P

Hennessy V.S.O.P was commissioned in 1817 by the future King George IV of England to enthral guests at a colorful gathering.

It’s the very first passionate achivement of Hennessy’s original Master Blender, Jean Fillioux, whose family has continued to perfect it for eight generations over two centuries.

With its inviting nose of sweet apricot and its charming palate of voluptuous vanilla and mellow oak, Hennessy V.S.O.P is smooth, charming and all embracing.
