About Hennessy VS
Hennessy (pronounced "Enesi" in French) is a French cognac house. It is part of the LVMH holding company, along with other luxury brands.

Moreover, they have another secret: a dynasty of cellar masters who have been creating renowned cognacs for over 200 years. Perhaps this is the true reason for their popularity.
The house is named after Richard Hennessy, an Irishman who served in the French army and settled in Cognac, Charente, after being wounded. He saw an opportunity to profit from spirits and founded his own company in 1765. It became one of the first merchants in the region and one of the few that has survived since. Today, Hennessy collaborates with over 1,500 winegrowers, purchasing over 90% of its raw materials. The company uses its own facilities only to train partners in production standards.
