Heritage

COMMISSIONED FOR GATHERINGS

The story of Hennessy V.S.O.P is as colorful as the guests who first tasted it. In 1817, the future King of England asked Hennessy to produce a ‘Very Superior Old Pale’ for an extravagant gathering. The following year, our first shipment was sent to the Brighton Pavilion, where this royal had invited a blend of guests at the forefront of fashion, art and architecture to mix, mingle and make merry.

FOREVER MADE TO DELIGHT

The taste of Hennessy V.S.O.P is as delightful today as it was when it was commissioned in 1817 by the future King of England. That is because every time Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the eighth Hennessy Master Blender from the same family, works on it, he draws upon centuries of expertise while maintaining its original purpose: to delight all those who will savor it while in the company of family, friends, and friends they're about to make.

Hennessy VSOP Blended For Celebration

Hennessy V.S.O.P

Since 1765, Maison Hennessy has perfected the art of cognac-making, a tradition perpetuated by eight generations of Master Blenders. A legacy of cultural openness lets Maison Hennessy shine around the world, wherever its celebrated cognacs are shared.



In 1817, James Hennessy created a unique blend for the future King George IV of England. From the encounter of these two visionaries, was born the first Hennessy “Very Superior Old Pale,” know today as Hennessy V.S.O.P.



The savoir-faire of the Maison Hennessy is fully expressed in this balanced cognac: the selection of eaux-de-vie, aging and assemblage. A cognac of remarkable consistency and vitality, Hennessy V.S.O.P conveys all of the savoir-faire of the Hennessy master blenders who have ensured the continued success of this harmonious assemblage for 200 years.
