The Legacy of Hennessy: From Cork to Cognac
Founded by Richard Hennessy in 1765, Hennessy is the epitome of luxury cognac. Born in County Cork, Ireland, Hennessy left his aristocratic roots to fight for Louis XV’s army in France. It was here that he founded the Hennessy brand, beginning a legacy that would become synonymous with luxury and sophistication.
Hennessy is not a whiskey, as commonly mistaken, but a cognac – a type of brandy made from grapes and double-distilled, then aged in French oak barrels. The distinct ageing process infuses the cognac with rich aromas and complex flavours, setting it apart from other spirits. Today, Hennessy continues to be the world’s leading cognac maker, producing more than 50 million bottles annually and holding over 40% of the global market share.
The Alphabet Guide to Hennessy
- VS (Very Special): Aged for at least two years, Hennessy VS is known for its lively and fruity character, perfect for cocktails.
- VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale): Aged for at least four years, this blend has a balance of maturity and complexity, with more refined notes.
- XO (Extra Old): Aged for a minimum of six years, often extending to ten, Hennessy XO is rich, deep, and full-bodied, ideal for sipping neat or over ice.
Unlocking Hennessy’s Versatility with Cocktails
The Made for More campaign showcases five refreshing cocktails, each demonstrating how Hennessy’s flavour profile can transform into vibrant, versatile drinks for any occasion.

Why Hennessy Is “Made for More”
Hennessy cognac does not age once bottled, meaning its taste and quality remain as vibrant and fresh as the day it was sealed. Kept in a cool, dark place, your Hennessy will continue to deliver the same palate-pleasing experience time and time again.
A World-Class Tasting Experience
Becoming a Hennessy taster is no easy feat. According to the brand’s 7th Generation Master Blender, it takes ten years of apprenticeship with the Comité de Dégustation to truly master the craft. This dedication to excellence is what makes Hennessy one of the most celebrated cognacs in the world.
