Richard Hennessy, a former Irish officer in the service of Louis XV, founded the House of Hennessy in Cognac, Charente, in 1765. In September 2024, Maison Hennessy celebrates its origins by creating a limited edition for Hennessy VS, designed by a duo of Irish street artists, for the 300th birthday of the founder, Richard Hennessy.
Irish artists Conor Harrington and Maser collaborate to design this limited edition, fusing Harrington's modern classicism with Maser's vibrant, graphic style. It's an association that celebrates the ambivalence of the House of Hennessy, at once rooted in its history and profoundly modern.
