Richard Hennessy founded Maison Hennessy in 1765 with a clear vision: to create the world’s finest cognac. Under the ownership of his son James, the company rapidly expanded, and since then, the names Hennessy and cognac have become forever intertwined. Today, Hennessy is the undisputed leader in the cognac industry, selling 50 million bottles worldwide. Its product range includes V.S., Fine de Cognac, X.O., Paradis, Paradis Imperial, and Richard — all of which are benchmarks of excellence and icons of refinement and luxury. The exceptional quality of these products inspires a stunning variety of ways to enjoy traditionally small servings of cognac: neat, on ice with soda water, or as part of a cocktail. Made from grapes, cognac pairs perfectly with fruits, spices, and other liqueurs, providing an ideal base for delicious cocktails.
