JonOne’s design process for the Hennessy V.S Limited Edition bottle mirrors the elaborate process of crafting Cognac.  With an energy that has come to define his style, to create the bottle art he built layer upon layer of freestyle splashes of color, intermixed with Hennessy’s own imagery, echoing the complex layers of flavors and aromas created during the Cognac blending process.  The result is a final work that captures the spirit of the artist and gives a nod to the transmission and legacy of Hennessy. 

The design appears on a limited run of flagship 750mL Hennessy Very Special bottles (priced approximately at $35).  A special deluxe gift edition is also available, featuring a 1.75L bottle decorated with JonOne’s iconic tag and Hennessy iconography.  It is encased in a whimsically over-sized paint can, inspired by the artist’s studio and creative inspiration, and available for a suggested retail price of $200.
