Description

Hennessy VSOP Privilège 100 Years In Nigeria Limited Edition Cognac

From the heart of the Charente River in France to the shores of Nigeria, this limited edition bottle is a tribute to the Nigerian joie de vivre and its resilient spirit. It's a bold pledge to continuously deliver excellent cognacs and create magical consumer experiences. Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège is a rich harmonious cognac of incomparable vitality. Based on a selection of firmly structured Eaux-de-vie, aged largely in partially-used barrels in order to take on subtle levels of oak tannins, this highly characterful Cognac has perfected the art of subtly balancing power and finesse. Perpetuating the legacy of the original V.S.O.P, it is the perfect representation of a country that embraces excellence and is made rich by its diversity.

The Maison Hennessy has been welcomed in the hearts of Nigerians and in turn, has made the nation its home, celebrating with its citizens milestones that have happened over the 100 years of Hennessy’s presence in Nigeria. Based in the heart of the Charente region, Hennessy is also a steadfast pillar of the regional economy, the standard-bearer for a sector rich in expertise. The House’s success and longevity are rooted in the excellence of its cognacs, each of which is born of a unique process of transmission from generation to generation.

Presentation of the bottle

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.
