Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the significance of the Hennessy Lunar New Year limited edition series?
Each year, Hennessy collaborates with a distinguished artist to create a limited edition Lunar New Year bottle that honors the traditions, symbolism, and cultural richness of one of the world’s most significant and joyful celebrations. The Lunar New Year series has become one of the most anticipated and collectible annual releases in the Cognac category — combining Hennessy’s exceptional liquid with world-class contemporary art to create bottles that are as meaningful and beautiful to display as they are to pour. The 2027 edition by Raxxy continues this celebrated tradition with a distinctive and vibrant artistic vision that makes it one of the most compelling Lunar New Year releases in the series’ history.
What does VSOP mean and how does Hennessy VSOP compare to other Hennessy expressions?
VSOP stands for Very Superior Old Pale — a Cognac designation indicating that the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend has been aged for a minimum of four years in French oak barrels. Hennessy VSOP is crafted from a blend of over 60 eaux-de-vie aged between 4 and 15 years, delivering greater depth, complexity, and smoothness than the younger Hennessy VS, while remaining more approachable and versatile than the older and more contemplative Hennessy XO. VSOP is widely considered the ideal everyday premium Cognac — smooth and complex enough to sip neat, yet versatile enough to excel in cocktails.
