Hennessy Cognac And Artist Yan Pei-Ming Celebrate The Year Of The Rabbit

Published

Hennessy Cognac rings in the Chinese New Year through a collaboration with artist Yan Pei-Min to honor the year of the Rabbit. The result is a limited-edition decanter featuring a composition designed by Ming that features a landscape of a rabbit surrounded by the stunning animals within the Chinese Zodiac and a beautiful red tonality inspired by cognac hues. The porcelain decanter and detailed artwork are packaged in a hand-made wooden box. When the box is opened, a triptych design of the original La Grande Course painting is found within.

In 1870, Maurice Hennessy, a 4th-generation member of the Hennessy family, asked the Master Blender Emile Fillioux, a descendant of the Hennessy Master Blender Jean Fillioux, to create a special cognac for his family and friends, using long-aged eaux-de-vie to perfect the blend. They called it “X.O” for “Extra Old”, the original, and a legend was born. Hennessy X.O attained international renown and contributed to the development of the category XO which is a gauge of uncompromising quality. Thanks to 150 years of meticulous know-how, Hennessy X.O remains as inspiring today as it was the day Hennessy first shared it with his inner circle. The powerful and balanced structure of Hennessy X.O carries the promise of an extremely long finish, with each drop an invitation to embark on a journey of the senses through seven tasting notes.
