Description

The Hennessy VSOP Privilege Chinese New Year 2020 edition honors the Year of the Rat with a monumental artwork by the renowned Chinese artist Zhang Huan. Because the design turns the bottle into a piece of art, this release is a collector item and a festive gift.

Hennessy VSOP Privilege Chinese New Year art

For this edition, Hennessy commissioned an original work called Eaux de vie from Zhang Huan. Therefore the vibrant bottle and packaging reflect his singular vision. It marks the start of a new cycle with warmth, color, and celebration.

Tasting profile and serving

VSOP Privilege is a well balanced cognac aged beyond the four year minimum for the tier. Expect layered vanilla, toasted oak, and warm spice with a smooth finish. Serve it neat in a tulip glass. However, a single ice cube softens a festive evening pour.

Meanwhile, fans of the tier can explore the Hennessy VSOP Privilege John Maeda edition or the festive Hennessy VSOP Lunar New Year bottle. You can also browse the full Hennessy cognac collection.

Heritage and the artist

Hennessy has crafted cognac since 1765, and the Hennessy VSOP Privilege Chinese New Year edition frames that legacy through the eyes of a celebrated artist. Because VSOP Privilege is prized for balance, it suits sipping and refined cocktails alike. Therefore the bottle works for a festive toast or a quiet evening. In addition, the Zhang Huan artwork commissioned as Eaux de vie gives the release genuine cultural weight. Meanwhile, festive editions like this are made in limited numbers, so they seldom return to shelves once the season has passed.

Why buy the Hennessy VSOP Privilege Chinese New Year

Above all, this edition unites a refined blend with collectible art for the festive season. Because these releases are limited, they rarely return once sold. Secure this celebratory bottle for your shelf or as a gift.
