Hennessy VSOP Privilege
Inspired by a cognac created in 1817 in response to a request from the future king of England, George IV, Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège has built its reputation across nearly 2 centuries. Today Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège has become established as the world’s favorite VSOP Cognac, and is recognised for its harmonious and well-structured blend. If it’s good enough for the King of England, it’s good enough for the king in your life.

Hennessy continues at the forefront of artistic collaborations with the 9^th annual V.S Limited Edition release, this time with world-renowned artistic pioneer, Felipe Pantone. The Argentine-Spanish contemporary artist’s design embodies themes of his signature work: kinetic art, installations, graffiti and design, characterized by the use of bold colors, geometrical patterns and Op Art elements. The Hennessy V.S Limited Edition by Felipe Pantone is based on the artist’s original artwork “W-3 Dimensional Three Stars,” a piece inspired by Hennessy’s past.
Give dad art in a bottle, inside and out, with this innovative design.

It’s Premium extra-aged  Añejo  tequila, matured for forty months in American Oak barrels. Surprisingly balanced, soft and unique flavor with notes of vanilla, cinnamon and caramel.

DON JULIO 1942
Aged for a minimum of two and a half years in American white-oak barrels, Don Julio 1942 pays tribute to the year that Don Julio González began his tequila-making journey. Distinguished and refined, this special Añejo is produced in small batches and reflects Don Julio González’s life-long passion for making the highest quality tequila. Its sweet and complex aroma complements an equally intriguing range of flavors including hints of warm oak, pepper and cinnamon. Extraordinarily smooth, with astonishing depth, it is best enjoyed neat in a snifter.
