The gilded vessel that holds the long-standing legacy of the Hennessy V.S.O.P is the latest creation from reputable graphic designer Peter Saville. The design is a reflection of the research Saville has conducted on the natural science and genome of the grapevine, which stands for the essence and integrity of the cognac. The color-coding technique that Saville is known for incorporates both the designer’s modern abstraction and Hennessy’s revered heritage. Ultimately resulting in a ‘pattern of life’ design that makes any owner of this limited edition Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilege Collection 5 resemble the regality of King Midas himself.
The VSOP itself is produced using 100% Ugni Blanc grapes, it's a perfect harmony between the quality eaux-de-vie and the expertise of Hennessy master blenders. The maturation in French oak barrels creates a secondary scent of toasted notes. When sipping this classic Cognac, strength and smoothness converge in a beautifully orchestrated blend of flavors, followed by a softer note of freshly pressed grapes before a lengthy finish. A true embodiment of the brilliance that the Hennessy house offers.
