The luxury spirit brand Hennessy is to cognac what Cristal is to champagne, an instantly recognizable and iconic drink that’s frequently associated with high-class lifestyles. This positioning is something Hennessy has spent decades consolidating and is exemplified in the Hennessy x Yang Yongliang 2024 Year of the Dragon collaboration.
Taking its inspiration from the Maison Hennessy slogan “Together we are unstoppable,” the Hennessy x Yang Yongliang 2024 Year of the Dragon collection includes three exclusive drinks presented in stunning new bottle and packaging designs. The V.S.O.P, X.O X, and Paradis editions each draw from the digital artwork of Yang Yongliang, featuring gorgeous, vibrant designs of dragons emerging from ocean waves.
The Hennessy V.S.O.P Yang Yongliang, presented in a striking deep red bottle and case and with the Hennessy logo emblazoned in gold text, serves as a celebration of the Chinese New Year in style. Meanwhile, the X.O X Yang Yongliang draws on the wishes of Maurice Hennessy, using long-aged eaux-de-vie to create an accessible and rich blend designed for sharing with friends and family.
Rounding off the trio of new editions is the Hennessy Paradis X Yang Yongliang, an exclusive edition stunningly presented in a bright white decanter featuring elegant gold dragon motifs, limited to just 485 numbered pieces. Designed by the prestigious French heritage porcelain maker Bernardaud, it’s a fitting tribute to Hennessy’s enduring connection with Chinese culture and the spirit of the new year.
