Hennessy VSOP Privilege Chinese New Year 2021 by Liu Wei (75cl, 40%)

A one-time 2021 Year of the Ox limited edition of Hennessy VSOP Privilège, dressed in artwork commissioned from Beijing contemporary artist Liu Wei. The cognac is the standard VSOP Privilège blend of more than sixty eaux-de-vie aged in French oak, presented at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The carafe carries a fuchsia-to-red gradient drawn from Liu Wei's painting "SPRING". Production ended in 2021, making it a collector's bottle rather than a different liquid. The profile is the familiar VSOP Privilège one: vanilla and oak over a mellow, elegant palate, with clove and cinnamon on the nose and a smooth, balanced palate. It can be enjoyed neat or in a Sidecar.
