Description
Hennessy VSOP Limited Edition by Julien Colombier Cognac
This Hennessy VSOP Limited Edition Cognac designed by French artist Julien Colombier is a well-balanced expression, perfectly representing 200 years of Hennessy craft. Inspired by nature’s uncertainties, this blend has tamed the elements to become a complex, wild VSOP. that reveals new facets of its personality with each sip. The very name VSOP, which has become a benchmark in age categories for all Cognac makers, began when the Prince of Wales, King George IV of Great Britain personally requested a cask of ‘old pale’ from Hennessy in 1817. This VSOP is still the original, unparalleled and one of the most famous Cognacs across the world.
The House of Hennessy specializes in distilling their eaux-de-vie without the lees for a smooth, clean palate and utilizing humid cellars for a steady maturation. As the largest Cognac Maison worldwide, we can trust that Hennessy knows exactly how to make each eau-de-vie work in tandem with one another to create the ultimate sensory experience.
Presentation of the Bottle
In classic Hennessy style, this limited edition is made to catch the eye. Both the label and the matching presentation tube are covered with a bold, multicolored, tropical-inspired print. A self-taught painter, Julien Colombier works mainly with acrylics and oil pastels and is strongly influenced by the world of graffiti and Japanese art. The result here is an otherworldly design that feels modern, yet dreamlike. Four coasters are included in the package.
Serving Suggestions
This balanced Cognac lends itself to a wide range of uses, pairing particularly well with dishes like pan-fried scallops, fruity desserts such as pear tarte tatin, or in a long drink or ginger-based cocktail.
About Hennessy Cognac
You may think, that with Hennessy’s ability to innovate and push boundaries, they are a thoroughly ‘modern’ Cognac brand. This is a large part of their immense success and influence. The very French brand based in the Charente region, in fact, dates all the way back to 1765 - to Ireland - but have managed to shapeshift enough times to remain more relevant than ever before - with current Master Blender Renaud Fillioux. Their range of uber-trendy products is ever expanding, and their marketing campaigns all the more captivating. There is no doubt that ‘Henny’ culture is alive and kicking: both Cognac and a fifth of Hennessy are mentioned in what seems like hundreds of songs.
