Hennessy VSOP Lunar New Year 2021 Limited Edition By Liu Wei Cognac

Hennessy V.S.O.P Lunar New Year Limited Edition By Liu Wei Cognac

In celebration of the Lunar New Year 2021, Hennessy has collaborated with internationally recognised artist Liu Wei, to release a limited edition bottle of Hennessy VSOP. A classic in its own right, Liu Wei has spruced up the original bottle design with a colorful palette inspired by Spring. The colors are symbolic of the artist and reflect Liu Wei’s trademark artistic style. An ode to Cognac and the iconic work of Hennessy’s master blender, the bottle work displays the skilful fusing together of the colors red and purple, in the same way that the blender intertwines together the different blends of eaux-de-vie.

As the largest Cognac producer in the world, Hennessy dominates the Cognac region and spreads over the four grand cru regions including; Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois. With the largest reserve of eaux-de-vie worldwide, the choice of aromas means that this Cognac house has the ability to create some of the most exquisite and complex Cognac blends the industry has to offer. Matured in oak casks following double distillation in copper stills, the refined quality and pioneering know-how are what gave the House of Hennessy the world-class legacy that it owns today.

Presentation of the bottle

The color scheme of this limited edition bottle by Liu Wei displays the vibrancy of Spring as well as the infinite possibility of growth that arrives with the season.

The limited edition bottle is in keeping with the artist's signature style, as the print and colors resemble some of Liu Wei’s other artwork too. The perfect gift, that is sure to brighten up the day of a Cognac enthusiast.
