Hennessy brand is a French cognac distiller with its headquarters located in Cognac, France. Hennessy is the largest cognac producer, supplying more than 40% of the world’s cognac. The Company is owned by Moët Hennessy, which is in turn owned by LVMH and Diageo.
Hennessy cognac distillery was founded by an Irish military officer named Richard Hennessy in 1765. In 1813, Richard’s son, James Hennessy gave the company its new name Jas Hennessy & Co. Kilian Hennessy, a fifth-generation direct descendant of Hennessy became the new CEO during the 1970s when he succeeded his cousin Maurice Richard. Killian spearheaded the Company’s merger with Moet Chandon to create Moet Hennessy otherwise known as MH.
In 1987, Moet Hennessy merged with Louis Vuitton to create one of the world’s largest luxury brand conglomerates Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, also known as LVMH. Due to a management crisis in 1988, the group LVMH was taken over by Bernard Arnault, owner of the haute couture Christian Dior, with the support of Guinness. Killian Hennessy remained on the Company’s board until his death at age 103 in 2010.
Hennessy V.S.O.P is the expression of 200 years of Hennessy craft. Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilege is the first cognac to be designated “Very Special Old Pale” and was produced in 1818 at the request of The Prince of Wales and future King George IV of Great Britain. Hennessy V.S.O.P is priced higher than most of the V.S.O.P range of other cognac houses and is the cognac market leader due to quality, marketing and name recognition.
