Founded in 1765, Hennessy is the world's leading cognac brand and has been working tirelessly to create the world's highest quality cognacs. Since 1817, King George IV of England has requested the Hennessy family to provide precious and fragrant aged Cognac. Since then, Hennessy V.S.O.P (Very Superior, Old and Pale) has been launched. Hennessy V.S.O.P has been famous since the end of the 19th century and is highly recommended by European royal families. Hennessy is the master of blending aged "eaux de vie". It has a long history of creating high-quality Cognac for seven generations. Its excellent heritage and fashionable sensibility have won Hennessy a global reputation from all walks of life, as well as today's outstanding cognac. Appreciated by cognac connoisseurs, the brand has been named the world's number one cognac, and has become one of the most delicate and mellow spirits in the world.
The founder of Hennessy was Charles Hennessy, a foreign officer who served in the Guards of Louis XIII at the time. In 1745, the troops he led were stationed in the famous Cognac region of France. They could often taste the famous local brandy and often buy and give it away. To relatives and friends in my hometown. Due to the pure taste and mellow aroma, relatives and friends praised these brandies and liked them very much. This also laid the foundation for Hennessy to establish the brand. In the early days of the establishment of the Hennessy Distillery, Hennessy's sales were already very promising, and at that time it was mainly sold to the UK and major cities. Later, a man named Jean Fairvod entered the winery to engage in blending work, and became Hennessy's first chief blender in 1800. With his efforts, the quality of Hennessy was greatly improved, and it was favored by the French royal family and nobles at that time. In 1815, the French Emperor Louis XIII specially issued a letter, selecting Hennessy as the main wine supplier to the French Congress. Hennessy's Brand status is established.
There is a tradition in the Hennessy family that each generation of family heirs must brew a Cognac to entertain relatives and friends. When the third generation of the family, Maurice Hennessy, brewed a private wine in 1870, he used it to serve himself at home and entertain relatives and friends. But later he discovered that many guests who had tasted this wine missed the mellow aroma of this wine very much after leaving, and wrote to Morris one after another, hoping to buy this wine on the market. So Morris named it XO, which means "special aging", and put it on the market in 1872. It was by chance and necessity that Hennessy XO came out. It was widely circulated and highly praised. In 1872, it even traveled across the ocean to as far away as the United States.
