Hennessy VSOP Chinese New Year 2026 Limited Edition

Vibrant, Festive, Timelessly Elegant A spectacular celebration of heritage and the Year of the Horse.

The Hennessy VSOP Chinese New Year 2026 Limited Edition is a masterpiece of cultural fusion. To mark the arrival of the Year of the Horse, Hennessy has continued its tradition of collaborating with world-renowned contemporary artists to reimagining its iconic carafe. This 2026 edition symbolizes power, grace, and the forward momentum associated with the Horse, making it a highly sought-after collectible for both cognac enthusiasts and art lovers alike.

A Celebration of "Le Grand Voyage"

At Cognac Select, we recognize this edition as the ultimate gift for the Lunar New Year. While the exterior reflects the vibrant energy of the festivities, the liquid inside remains the legendary Hennessy VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale). Inspired by a cognac created in 1817 for the future King George IV of the United Kingdom, this blend is a testament to consistency and harmony, composed of eaux-de-vie that have reached their peak of balance.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A clear, flamboyant mahogany with warm golden highlights.

Nose: Balanced and inviting. It opens with the signature Hennessy aroma of fresh oak, followed by a delicate scent of cinnamon, clove, and light tobacco. A subtle floral undertone adds elegance to the spicy bouquet.

Palate: The mouthfeel is silky and well-structured. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious blend of honey, grilled almonds, and fresh grapes. The tannins from the French oak barrels are perfectly integrated, providing a gentle toasted character that supports the fruit.

Finish: Medium to long, with a beautiful persistence of vanilla and soft spices. It leaves the palate clean with a final, pleasant hint of fresh fruit.
