From Hennessy about their JonOne VS collaboration:
Hennessy is proud to announce its collaboration with the renowned urban artist JonOne. The Hennessy Very Special Limited Edition by JonOne features a colourful, vibrant design and is part of an ongoing series of collaborations between Hennessy and internationally renowned urban artists.
In JonOne, the Maison instantly sensed a kindred spirit. Constantly on the move between his home base in Paris, his native Harlem and cutting edge art scenes all over the world, the graffiti artist-turned-art world phenomenon has always remained true to himself, pushing boundaries and defying definition.
“JonOne is a unique talent who shares many traits with Hennessy,” notes Bernard Peillon, Chairman and CEO of Maison Hennessy. “Jon has an open spirit, he stays curious. His passion lies in constantly pushing his work to new heights, new territories, even though he is already a true master, and has nothing left to prove. Like Hennessy, he never stops and never settles.”
This shared passion can be seen even in the design process itself, which mirrors the elaboration process of the cognac. With an energy that has come to define his style, JonOne built layer upon layer of freestyle splashes of color, intermixed with Hennessy’s own imagery, echoing the complex layers of flavors and aromas the Master Blender creates during the blending process. The result is a final work that captures the spirit of both artist and Maison.
The design appears on a limited run of the flagship Hennessy Very Special bottle and accompanying gift box.
ABOUT VERY SPECIAL
Quintessentially Hennessy, Hennessy Very Special is a reference in the art of blending for its unique style. Hennessy Very Special is the modern incarnation of Hennessy’s Three Star and the world’s most popular Cognac. The union of warm-hearted and full-bodied flavors, Hennessy Very Special endures through the ages and is for connoisseurs searching for a very special moment.
TASTING NOTES : THE POWER OF BLENDING
On the nose, Hennessy Very Special brings together an intense and fruity character with pleasant oaky notes. In the mouth, powerful flavors evoke grilled almonds, supported by the fresh, lively notes of the grapes.
FUNDAMENTALLY HENNESSY
Demanding in its creation, yet immediately satisfying in its tasting, Hennessy Very Special marks its inimitable style across time. As a reflection of Hennessy’s know-how, Very Special’s audacious personality is the result of carefully selecting only the most expressive and distinctive eaux-de-vie. After several years of maturation in French oak casks, the eaux-de-vie are then blended with the mastery and consistency unique to the Maison Hennessy. Savour it neat, on ice or with a mixer and reveal its character.
