When Dance Became Bottle Art
Hennessy has a long history of artist collaborations — KAWS, Futura, A$AP Ferg — but the 2021 edition broke new ground: the first time two designs dropped as one limited edition. Les Twins, the French twin brothers who won the first season of World of Dance and toured with Beyoncé, visited the Maison in Cognac and translated the cognac-making process into freestyle movement. Motion capture recorded their live performance, and those digital images became the bottle's graphic design — each bottle carrying the likeness of either Laurent or Larry.
Tasting Notes
Classic Hennessy VS character: intense and fruity on the nose — ripe white grapes and orchard fruit over toasted oak and sweet vanilla. The palate is robust and fragrant — grilled almonds, vibrant fresh grape, and soft floral notes — with enough body to stand up in a cocktail.
How to Enjoy
Mix it the way the house intends — a cognac and cola, a Sidecar, or over ice with ginger ale. Or keep the bottle sealed and on the shelf: with only two designs and a finite run, this is a collector's VS.
