History and origin
The Hennessy VSOP is an exceptional cognac, a symbol of refined taste and unparalleled quality. Since 1765, Maison Hennessy has perfected the art of cognac-making across eight generations of master blenders. In 1817, James Hennessy crafted a special blend for King George IV, giving birth to the iconic Hennessy V.S.O.P, renowned as the first “Very Superior Old Pale.”
This cognac embodies Maison Hennessy’s well-balanced essence, achieved through meticulous selection of eaux-de-vie, expert aging, and blending techniques. Renowned for its rich and balanced flavor profile, Hennessy VSOP has carved a niche as a connoisseur’s choice.

Beyond the V.S.O.P.’s captivating vibrancy and dynamic design, this exclusive release is a must-have for collectors and fans.
Craftsmanship behind Hennessy VSOP
Hennessy takes great care in crafting its V.S.O.P cognac, prioritizing quality and tradition. The process begins with Ugni Blanc grapes, which are pressed, fermented, and distilled using traditional Charentais copper stills. Double distillation is crucial, with only the ‘heart’ portion retained after the second distillation, resulting in a clear eau-de-vie.
The eau-de-vie matures over the years in wooden barrels, with flavors and colors evolving through meticulous labor and barrel rotation. This intricate and time-honored process ultimately gives Hennessy V.S.O.P its distinctive character and exceptional quality, reflecting its commitment to excellence.
A blend of prestige and pop culture
Hennessy VSOP, revered for its harmonious and well-structured blend, takes on a new persona in this collaboration. The VSOP’s classic profile of smooth vanilla, clove, and cinnamon is reinterpreted through the lens of Jackson Wang’s contemporary aesthetics, delivering a product that resonates with both cognac enthusiasts and the modern generation.
Tasting Notes
The cognac within is classic Hennessy VSOP—beautiful mahogany with light tones, evoking fresh fruit’s aroma and a sensation of suppleness that settles into harmonious aromatic layers. Indulge in a balanced blend of juicy fruits, vanilla, spices and mild tobacco provided by the vigor of the younger eaux-de-vie. The taste profile is well-balanced and vibrant, providing an experience that pays homage to Hennessy’s 200-year legacy of cognac creation.
How do you drink Hennessy VSOP?
There is no better way to appreciate this exquisite beverage than by enjoying it neat or over ice. For enthusiasts keen on exploring the versatility of this edition, the V.S.O.P is also widely embraced in cocktails. Try mixing with coke, orange or pineapple juice.
Nutty and floral notes can complement the younger cognac profile of the V.S.O.P., so consider adding cinnamon for a delightful twist to your drink.
Food pairings
Hennessy V.S.O.P is a robust spirit frequently enjoyed alongside chocolates and desserts, thanks to its flavor profile that harmonizes seamlessly with the rich aroma of cocoa. Pairing it with well-balanced dishes that are not overly sweet, spicy, or savory will enhance the overall dining experience.
