To celebrate its 250th anniversary, Hennessy Cognac has launched the Hennessy 250 Collector Blend alongside a global artistic and cultural event, The Hennessy 250 Tour.

Since 2011, Yann Fillioux, Maison Hennessy’s master blender, has been choosing eaux-de-vie from ones he has selected during his 50 years with the Cognac house, with the help of his tasting committee. To create the Hennessy 250 Collector Blend, the eaux-de-vie were aged in 250 handmade, specially commissioned 250-litre barrels of Limousin oak, having already been aged for at least 10 years under “optimum conditions”.

In addition, the Hennessy 250 Tour will take place from March to September visiting the Zaha Hadid Opera house in Guangzhou, the New Manege in Moscow, the Lincoln Centre in New York, the Circa Gallery in Johannesburg and an initially undisclosed location in Paris which turned out the be the reknown Shangri-La hotel.
