Gallop into the Lunar New Year with grandeur and artistry through the Hennessy X.O Cognac – Year of the Horse 2026 Limited Edition. This special release from the House of Hennessy celebrates the vitality, courage, and strength of the Horse — an enduring symbol of ambition and success. For 2026, the Maison collaborates once again with renowned Chinese contemporary artist Xu Zhen, whose bold reinterpretation of tradition brings modern vibrancy to Hennessy’s timeless craftsmanship.

Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy, Hennessy X.O represents the world’s first “Extra Old” cognac — a masterful blend of over 100 eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years in hand-selected French oak barrels. It is the ultimate embodiment of complexity and balance: a symphony of aromas and textures that unfold slowly, layer after layer. On the nose, rich notes of dried fruit, cocoa, and candied orange fill the senses. The palate reveals opulent flavours of dark chocolate, roasted almonds, and warm spices, balanced by subtle vanilla and oak tones. The finish is long and velvety, offering an experience that lingers in perfect harmony.

The Year of the Horse 2026 Limited Edition transforms this iconic cognac into a true collector’s treasure. Xu Zhen’s artwork adorns the bottle and gift box with flowing, golden motifs inspired by his acclaimed “Under Heaven” series — a visual celebration of movement, prosperity, and unity. The radiant red and gold design pays homage to both the energy of the New Year and the timeless elegance of the Maison, creating an exquisite fusion of East and West. Each decanter stands as a symbol of art, legacy, and luxury.

Hennessy X.O Cognac – Year of the Horse 2026 Limited Edition is more than a spirit — it is a cultural celebration, a meeting of heritage and contemporary expression. Perfect for collectors, connoisseurs, and festive gatherings, this release invites you to raise a glass to renewal, fortune, and enduring success in the year ahead.
