Our Notes

Hennessy's Lunar New Year Edition for 2023 rings in the year of the rabbit with a gorgeous embossed bottle on a rabbit theme. The deluxe gift box in a very appropriate red and gold is decorated with a print by world-renowned Dijon-via-Shanghai painter Yan Pei-Ming - open the box to see the full painting displaying every animal.

From the Distillery

Maison Hennessy heralds a brand-new cycle in the Chinese calendar through a monumental composition by Yan Pei-Ming, one of the world's most celebrated and sought-after contemporary artists.

For the first time ever, in 2023 Maison Hennessy ushers in the Lunar New Year by honoring not just a single, symbolic animal, but the entire Zodiac in all its diversity. In the hands of Yan Pei-Ming, a joyful celebration becomes a symbol of inclusiveness and hope, carrying a promise of forward momentum after a particularly challenging period. The animals' spirited race toward new horizons conveys a singular truth: "Together, We Go Further."

Hennessy XO Cognac is is both elegant and complex, aged and blended to be bold, rich, and persistent. The nose is rich, full-bodied with dark dried fruit notes. Dates, plums, sultana. The palate is poised, rich, cocoa, dried fruits, nutty. Finally, the finish lingers with caramel, custard and oak.
