Hennessy Privilége Lunar New Year 2023 Limited Edition Bottle by Yan Pei-Ming

Hennessy Privilège Lunar New Year 2023 is the house's V.S.O.P Privilège cognac in a limited bottle designed by Chinese artist Yan Pei-Ming, whose painting "The Great Race" depicts all twelve zodiac animals as a tribute to the full Chinese Zodiac.

Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège is a blend of firmly structured eaux-de-vie matured to deliver balanced notes of fresh fruit, vanilla, and spice. For Lunar New Year 2023, Yan Pei-Ming created an artwork honoring the entire zodiac rather than a single year — broad, sweeping brushstrokes in cognac's amber, orange, russet, and burgundy tones. The cognac inside is V.S.O.P Privilège; the collector value is in the artist edition bottle.
