Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège pays tribute to 200 years of heritage with the release of a new limited-edition anniversary carafe. The carafe masterfully weaves together modern design components with elements that pay homage to the brand’s past; specifically recalling the date in March 1818, when the future King George IV of England received his specially commissioned “tierçon cask of excellent quality old pale” from James Hennessy. Since Hennessy’s founding, the Hennessy and Fillioux families have approached Cognac-making differently, together. With what would be called Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège, James Hennessy and Jean Fillioux created a new style of Cognac that would transform the art of Cognac making, inspiring the future “Very Superior Old Pale” designation. Since that first delivery, Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège remained the ideal expression of a perfectly balanced spirit.

Over the next two centuries, as the world was being transformed by innovation, Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège remained true to its roots, its quality unaltered thanks to the Hennessy Master Blenders who passed down the secrets of this timeless Cognac from one generation to the next.
