A Courtside Collector's Edition of the Classic VS
Hennessy has stood as the NBA's official spirit since 2020, and this 2022 collector's edition pairs the house's flagship VS blend with bold NBA-inspired packaging. The liquid inside is the same Hennessy VS that made the house famous — a blend of eaux-de-vie aged in French oak, built for a full-bodied, toasted-and-fruit character. The edition landed ahead of the holiday and 2022 NBA seasons with a basketball-themed gift box that makes it a display piece as much as a drink. For fans of Hennessy's cognac range, this is the most collectible way to enjoy the classic VS; explore more of the house's lineup on the Hennessy collection page, and browse the full cognac collection for other premium spirits from the region.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A powerful bouquet of oaky undertones opening into delicate hazelnut notes. Palate: Smooth, floral layers with natural red-fruit sweetness and a whisper of vanilla. Finish: Long and satisfying, warm with toasted oak.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat after dinner to appreciate the full VS character, or pour over ice with soda water, tonic, orange juice, or ginger ale for a refreshing game-night long drink. The collector packaging makes it an ideal gift for basketball fans.
