This year, Hennessy has a repertoire of captivating 2020 holiday offerings, from celebratory limited
Hennessy V.S Limited Edition Gold Bottle
To celebrate the joy of being together, Hennessy enlisted artists Julie Ho and Nicholas Andersen of NYC’s CONFETTISYSTEM to brighten a true brand icon of Hennessy, the coated arm. Using their signature fringe design, the duo developed a Hennessy visual of the coated arm wrapped in gold metallic fringes illuminating festivity for the holidays. Along with the captivating visual, the exterior of a limited number of V.S bottles have been transformed to complete gold to bring warmth and a shed light on the new year to come.
Available at select retailers nationwide – SRP: $40
Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège x UVA
United Visual Artists (UVA), the London-based artist collective, created a limited edition offering inspired by the V.S.O.P blending process. UVA reflected on the concept of “time blending” as a form of creation and a metaphor for the harmonious combination of eaux-de-vie in the Cognac-making process, each belonging to a specific time in history. The limited edition design captures the essence of UVA’s “Harmonics” kinetic light installation for Hennessy, which reflects on dynamics of immateriality, light and time. The “time capsule” packaging and limited edition V.S.O.P decanter are designed to manipulate light and viewer’s perception – a dynamic visual experience for holiday gifting.
Available at select retailers nationwide – SRP: $60
Hennessy X.O Limited Edition by Frank Gehry
In celebration of such a momentous anniversary, Frank Gehry created a limited edition bottle for the holiday season. Presented in a golden case with plexiglass, the gold and rich amber coated Hennessy X.O bottle shines through, creating a sophisticated present of utmost originality.
Available at select retailers starting Fall 2020 – SRP: $230
Hennessy X.O 150th Anniversary Masterpiece by Frank Gehry
World-renowned architect Frank Gehry has created a masterpiece commemorating the 150th anniversary of Hennessy X.O.
Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for the enjoyment of family and friends, X.O would go on to make history as the first ever “Extra Old” Cognac that established the category. A century and a half later, Gehry has drawn inspiration from the rich, complex blend and natural elements that surround Maison Hennessy’s estate to reinterpret the blend’s legacy in his signature sculptural style. The prolific creator marries gold and glass for a striking sensorial masterpiece, available in an exclusive, limited run of 150 numbered decanters each imprinted with Gehry’s signature.
