Hennessy’s cognac has a long and illustrious pedigree among fans of the spirit, with many notable references in tracks by hip-hop stars, including Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and Drake. Known for its high-profile collaborations with cultural icons, its support for avant-garde art has been a feature of the brand since 1765.

The new Richard Hennessy Magnum takes the brand back to its roots, honoring the founder in a stunning limited edition that reflects a rich history and legacy of over three hundred years. For eight generations, Hennessy has helped define the ritual behind cognac and the unique blend of flavors that has led to its enduring appeal.

Representing one of the house’s most original and exciting blends, the Richard Hennessy Magnum limited edition has been put together using the most refined and complex eaux-de-vie to capture the brand’s dedication to the art of cognac-making. The result is a drink that glows with amber and delivers a complex, full-bodied flavor both nurtured by the past and representative of Hennessy’s future ambitions.

This respect for the company’s legacy continues in the design of the decanter, pipette, holder, and complementary duo of cut crystal glasses. With its mounted graphic metal frame, the decanter delivers the impression that the cognac is suspended in midair, the liquid levitating in a 1.75-liter Baccarat magnum. It’s a stunning and original design brought to life by the celebrated architect Daniel Libeskind.

A celebration of the brand’s vivid history, the Richard Hennessy Magnum reflects the artistic expertise of the Hennessy Hands master craftsmen at the Atelier des Editions Rares in Cognac in style.
