HENNESSY VS 70CL BY MASER and CONOR EDITION – 70cl

Hennessy VS Founder’s Edition by Maser & Conor Harrington 70 cl

Hennessy VS Founder’s Edition is a bold fusion of cognac tradition and contemporary street-art energy. Crafted to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Richard Hennessy’s birth, this limited-edition bottling features visionary artwork by Irish artists Maser and Conor Harrington. The result is a vibrant, cultural masterpiece — an iconic collector’s cognac that bridges heritage and modernity.

Art & Collaboration

To mark the milestone anniversary, Hennessy collaborated with Cork-born visual artist Conor Harrington and urban abstractionist Maser. Their artwork reimagines Richard Hennessy’s journey from Ireland to Cognac—melding figurative portraiture and bold color layers. Harrington contributes sweeping figurative narratives, while Maser adds contemporary geometry and vibrant visual texture. Together, they create a design that reflects both the brand’s deep heritage and its embrace of modern art.

Cognac Craft & Liquid Identity

Beneath the artistic wrap is the classic Hennessy Very Special (VS) cognac—an accessible yet nuanced bridge cognac aged for a minimum of two years in oak barrels. Carefully blended from eaux-de-vie drawn primarily from the Borderies region, the liquid delivers bright fruit, vanilla oak, and a touch of spice. Bottled at 40% ABV, it remains balanced, approachable, and versatile — suitable for neat sipping, light cocktails, or mixed presentations.
