Maison Hennessy — A Legacy of French Cognac Excellence

Founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, Maison Hennessy has become one of the world's most celebrated cognac houses, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, meticulous blending, and distinguished French heritage.

Located in the historic Cognac region of France, Hennessy has spent more than 260 years perfecting the art of producing sophisticated grape-based spirits.

The house's reputation is built upon the expertise of generations of master blenders, the careful selection of exceptional eaux-de-vie, and the patient maturation of cognac in French oak barrels.

Hennessy has maintained particularly strong cultural connections with China since the 19th century, making its annual Lunar New Year collections a meaningful celebration of tradition, artistic expression, and shared heritage.

Through collaborations with internationally acclaimed artists and designers, Hennessy continues to reinterpret its iconic cognac expressions for new generations of collectors.

The 2027 Year of the Goat Limited Edition represents a beautiful union of traditional French cognac craftsmanship and contemporary Chinese artistic innovation.

Hennessy X.O — The Original Extra Old Cognac

The history of Hennessy X.O dates back to 1870, when Maurice Hennessy commissioned a special blend of exceptional aged eaux-de-vie for his closest circle of family and friends.

This distinguished creation became the first cognac to carry the designation X.O, meaning Extra Old.

Over the following generations, Hennessy X.O established itself as one of the world's most recognizable luxury cognacs.

The blend combines approximately 100 carefully selected eaux-de-vie, each contributing unique aromatic characteristics, depth, and complexity.

The youngest component of an X.O cognac must be aged for at least 10 years, although individual eaux-de-vie in the blend may be considerably older.

Maturation in French oak develops the rich aromas and flavors that define the Hennessy X.O experience.

Its celebrated flavor profile features candied fruit, rich chocolate, warm spices, and a remarkably long finish.

The Year of the Goat 2027 edition preserves this legendary cognac while presenting it in an extraordinary collectible design.

The 2027 Year of the Goat Collection

For Lunar New Year 2027, Hennessy collaborated with acclaimed Chinese artist and designer William Shen, founder of the innovative fashion and design house RAXXY.

The collection celebrates the Year of the Goat through geometric artwork inspired by traditional Chinese symbolism, contemporary design, and the values of leadership and harmony.

The collection includes special editions of three celebrated Hennessy expressions:

• Hennessy V.S.O.P — The Generous Leader: Celebrates generosity, kindness, and the spirit of sharing.

• Hennessy X.O — The Iconic Leader: Represents determination, vision, strength of character, and integrity.

• Hennessy Paradis — The Inspirational Leader: Honors inspiration, creativity, and exceptional achievement.

Each expression features distinctive artistic details reflecting its individual character.

The Hennessy X.O edition is particularly striking, combining a luxurious gold-finished decanter with geometric goat artwork in rich red, gold, and beige.

The presentation reflects the warm colors of the oak barrels that shape Hennessy X.O while honoring the Goat's traditional association with harmony, prosperity, and creativity.

The Art of William Shen and RAXXY

The distinctive presentation of Hennessy X.O Year of the Goat 2027 was created by William Shen, founder of the innovative Chinese design house RAXXY.

Known for combining traditional cultural influences with modern geometric forms, Shen has developed a distinctive artistic style emphasizing intricate patterns, symmetry, and architectural precision.

For the Hennessy Lunar New Year collection, Shen reimagined the Goat through a series of sophisticated geometric designs.

The Art of Hennessy X.O Blending

The exceptional character of Hennessy X.O Cognac comes from the careful selection and blending of mature eaux-de-vie.

Each eau-de-vie begins as wine produced from grapes grown in the Cognac region of France.

Following traditional double distillation in copper pot stills, the spirit is matured in French oak barrels.

Over time, the interaction between spirit and oak develops remarkable aromatic complexity.

Candied Fruit & Rich Sweetness

Extended maturation contributes rich flavors reminiscent of candied orange, dried apricots, figs, and caramelized fruit.

Dark Chocolate & Cocoa

The blend develops sophisticated chocolate characteristics that complement its rich fruit profile.

Cinnamon & Warming Spices

French oak maturation introduces delicate layers of cinnamon, clove, black pepper, and warming baking spices.

Toasted Oak & Vanilla

Carefully aged eaux-de-vie contribute elegant toasted wood, vanilla, and subtle nutty characteristics.

Long, Luxurious Finish

The combination of mature eaux-de-vie creates a full-bodied cognac with a lingering, complex finish.

These characteristics have helped establish Hennessy X.O as one of the most celebrated luxury cognacs in the world.
