Description

Individually numbered. A fluorescent pop art label that glows under black light, designed by acclaimed New York artist Ryan McGinness to commemorate Hennessy’s 250th anniversary.

Ryan McGinness is a New York-based artist known for incorporating the visual language of consumer culture, iconography, and graphic design into large-scale paintings and limited edition collaborations. His design for the Hennessy 250th Anniversary draws inspiration from New York City’s visual energy — layering a radiant pattern of bright fluorescent colors over a clean white background that activates under UV light. The bottle’s metadata is displayed through unique visual symbology, and each bottle is individually numbered.

The liquid inside is Hennessy V.S. — the house’s flagship blend of eaux-de-vie from all four Cognac growing regions, aged a minimum of two years. V.S. is Hennessy’s most vibrant and versatile expression — designed for cocktails, light mixing, or sipping over ice. The McGinness anniversary edition presents it in one of the most visually striking art bottle formats in the premium cognac category.

Tasting Notes (Hennessy V.S.)

• Nose: Grilled almonds and fresh grapes — fruit-forward and expressive.
• Palate: Sweet and fresh with notes of vanilla and light oak — the versatile V.S. character.
• Finish: Smooth and approachable — ideal for cocktails or light enjoyment.
