The cognac house’s latest limited-editions, created with long-time ambassador Jackson Wang, pair bold, collectible packaging with signature serves
There’s a certain poetry in raising a glass at Mid-Autumn: light, reflection, and reunion. Hennessy leans into that spirit with two limited editions for 2025, created in collaboration with global icon (and bona fide cognac enthusiast) Jackson Wang. The result is a duo that’s equal parts gift-worthy objet and easygoing crowd-pleaser-made for sharing, displaying, and revisiting long after the lanterns dim.
V.S.O.P arrives in an energetic red-orange livery with fluid, kinetic motifs mirroring the brand’s versatility. It comes with a ready-to-adopt ritual: “Mix It Like Jackson Wang” via the Henny Tea 40ml V.S.O.P topped with a splash of oolong tea over ice. X.O, meanwhile, is dressed for evening in an exterior box of deep amber layered with silver accents; an embossed, frosted effect nods to Wang’s preferred serve—on ice, with a sparkle of soda to lift the orchard fruit and spice. Consider them two moods of the same evening: one bright and sociable, the other slow and contemplative.
The collaboration also threads through Hennessy’s own relationship with tea, which stretches back to founder Richard Hennessy’s era at the turn of the 19th century—when tea and eaux-de-vie travelled together and the act of pouring was as much about connection as it was refreshment. That sentiment lands neatly in Asia’s Mid-Autumn calendar, where reunions, stories and sweets share equal billing.
Closer to home, Singapore gets a month of activity: pop-ups, tastings and exclusive offers throughout August, with in-store activations every Friday to Sunday from 8–31 August (4pm–9pm) at Cold Storage Great World City and Tanglin Mall, plus FairPrice Centrepoint and Clarke Quay. The V.S.O.P limited-edition bottle retails from S$115 at leading supermarkets including FairPrice and Cold Storage, while stocks last. Between the bold visuals, signature serves and a collaboration that continues to evolve, this is a release pitched squarely at the modern host: low-lift, high-style, and perfectly timed for moon-gazing season.
