About the Estate
Founded by Richard Hennessy, an Irish officer in Louis XV's army, the Hennessy cognac distillery quickly gained popularity in the United States, just 18 years after its independence. The Prince of Wales, who would later become George IV of Great Britain, was a cognac enthusiast who requested Hennessy to craft a "very superior old pale" eau de vie, leading to the widely recognized abbreviation VSOP—Very Superior Old Pale. Maurice Hennessy later established the XO (eXtra Old) designation, initially meant for family and friends, which has since become a global benchmark for cognacs. The term "axe in hand" symbolizes Richard Hennessy, who earned French citizenship after 12 years of service in the French army.
