About Hennessy Cognac
Richard Hennessy, an Irishman serving in Louis XV’s army, founded Hennessy in 1765. From the beginning, Mr. Hennessy strove to make the world’s best Cognac. In 1817, at the behest of King George IV, Hennessy created its storied V.S.O.P (very superior old pale) designation which has been the industry standard benchmark ever since.
Over the centuries, Hennessy has created many exceptional cognac lines including V.S., Paradis, Paradis Imperial and X.O. The Hennessy distillery is located in the town of Cognac in western France.
