Hennessy VSOP Lunar New Year 2027 by Raxxy
80 proof (40% ABV) | 750mL | Lunar New Year 2027 — Year of the Goat | Designed by William Shen — Hennessy's 2027 Lunar New Year edition dresses V.S.O.P Privilège in collectible artwork by Chinese artist and designer William Shen, founder and creative director of luxury fashion house RAXXY. Drawing on the Year of the Goat and the traditional blessing San Yang Kai Tai ("Three Rams Bring Prosperity"), Shen reimagined the goat in three geometric designs — the VSOP edition is titled "The Generous Leader," celebrating gathering, abundance, and the transformation of grapes into eaux-de-vie.
The liquid inside is the same Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège cognac connoisseurs know: a blend of ~60 eaux-de-vie aged in French Limousin oak — flamboyant mahogany colour; a nose of fresh fruit and supple harmony; a full-bodied palate of juicy fruits, vanilla, spices, and mild tobacco; a long, harmonious finish. Announced August 2026 and launching in 50+ countries from mid-October 2026 in strictly limited quantities — the annual Hennessy Lunar New Year bottle is a proven collector's piece. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 2027 Hennessy Lunar New Year bottle for the Year of the Horse?
No — 2027 is the Year of the Goat (2026 was the Horse year), which is why the goat anchors William Shen's artwork.
Who designed it, and does it taste different from regular Hennessy VSOP?
The artist is William Shen, founder of the RAXXY fashion house ("Raxxy" is the house, not the artist). The liquid is the same Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège — the edition is a collectible bottle design.
When does it release?
Launching in 50+ countries from mid-October 2026, ahead of Lunar New Year 2027 — quantities are strictly limited.
