Hennessy is THE giant in the world of Cognac. Jas Hennessy & Co. produces more than fifty million bottles of Cognac each year — more than 40% of the entire market. Interestingly, this most famous French company located in Cognac, France, was founded by an Irishman Richard Hennessy in 1765. The modern company produces nearly two dozen core spirits and many more collectors editions and limited releases as a subsidiary of Moët Hennessy, which in turn is owned in partnership by Diageo and LVMH.
Hennessy has created a series of limited edition VS releases in collaboration with modern artists. Each one builds plenty of excitement and sells out quickly. This year’s artist collaboration is the 9th in the series — Hennessy VS Limited Edition Cognac by Felipe Pantone. On the outside you’ll find the brightly-hued graphic designs of Felipe Pantone — almost optical illusions themselves. On the inside of the bottle you’ll find Hennessy’s classic VS Cognac — one of their most popular products.
Smartass corner:
Hennessy VS is the modern version of their famous “3 Star” Cognac. That’s why the artwork has three stars worked into Pantone’s design.

The French believe it or not, aren’t actually all that fond of Cognac. They export almost 90% of their production.
Nine liters of white Wine must be distilled for a single liter of Cognac!
Believe it or not, the French aren’t all that fond of Cognac. In fact, they export nearly 90% of their production.
Laws concerning Cognac-making are strict as hell. Only three types of grapes may be used, and they can only be harvested in October; Cognac must be aged for at least two years in barrels made from French oak - and get this, from one of two specific forests! Then, the stills must be of a particular French shape (no, not the baguette shape); and we guess La Marseillaise has to be sung during the entire process.
Hennessy is the largest Cognac producer in the world.
Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a variety of brandy (distilled wine). It is only produced in the wine-growing region surrounding this town. Cognac must be made from specified grapes, be twice distilled in copper pot stills, and be aged at least two years in French oak barrels. Most Cognacs are aged considerably longer than the minimum legal requirement.
