Product Description
Hennessy VSOP Year of the Horse – Art of Xu Zhen 750ml is a limited-edition collector release that merges world-class cognac craftsmanship with contemporary art. Curated by blackbook for its cultural significance and visual impact, this bottle celebrates the Lunar New Year through the creative lens of internationally acclaimed artist Xu Zhen.
Inside the striking, art-forward packaging is the classic Hennessy VSOP cognac—a harmonious blend of eaux-de-vie aged in French oak, known for its balance of fruit, spice, and smooth structure. The Year of the Horse edition elevates this trusted expression into a statement piece, making it equally compelling to drink, gift, or display.
At blackbook, we spotlight limited releases that go beyond the liquid. This collaboration stands at the intersection of heritage, modern art, and celebration—timeless cognac presented with contemporary energy.
