A Tribute to Our Founder
In 2024, the Maison Hennessy honors its legacy with an architectural masterpiece: the Richard Hennessy Magnum, crafted to honor the 300th anniversary of a soldier turned visionary entrepreneur.
Forever Looking to the Horizon
Designed to honor the founder’s achievements and passion for new horizons, the Richard Hennessy anniversary magnum is a bold, graceful masterpiece. Hand-crafted in Baccarat crystal, each carafe is unique.
The Future is Ours to Write
Cast against the amber cognac, an engraved likeness of Richard by the French artist Nicolas Ouchenir shows our founder gazing toward the horizon, evoking the promise and possibility that lies ahead.
The Richard Hennessy Visit
Confident and assertive, this exceptional blend is made from some of the scarcest eaux-de-vie in Hennessy's reserves, carefully selected and preserved in The Founder's Cellar on the family estate.
For this reason, Richard Hennessy cognac has been crafted in an extremely limited quantity: 12 tierçons, a historic barrel handcrafted in French oak by generations of cooper Masters at Hennessy's own tonnellerie, or barrel-making workshop.
In a meeting of visionary minds, Richard Hennessy's monumental legacy finds a contemporary incarnation in a bold, architectural, and graceful decanter in Baccarat crystal, as well as ritual accessories (glasses, a fusil, and a tray) designed by the world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind.
A masterpiece for a masterpiece, this aesthetically striking decanter is an art object in its own right that brilliantly expresses the character of Richard Hennessy and the cognac he inspired: it is visionary, complex, and unapologetically intense.
For Richard Hennessy, Daniel Libeskind immersed himself in the richness of history and dedication to craft, to design a bottle that is as visionary as the man who inspired it. To capture the founder's spirit, he started with a classic cognac bottle shape, imbuing the geometric, crystalline forms of Baccarat crystal with soft, organic curves that bring new energy and complexity to the cognac it contains.
The result is at once intuitive and unexpected: a monumental tribute to a pioneer.
