In celebration of Chinese New Year 2026 and the arrival of the Year of the Horse, Hennessy proudly unveils a new collection of limited editions. Featuring Hennessy V.S.O.P, James Hennessy, Hennessy X.O, and Hennessy Paradis, each offer is adorned with a dynamic interpretation of the horse—an enduring symbol of energy and freedom.

This year’s design is rendered in metallic copper tones and deep mineral pigments. Grounded in a flowing red palette, the galloping horse captures the elegance and strength of this revered animal. Designed to evoke both movement and meaning, it is a celebration of bright perspectives and the momentum that defines the Year of the Horse.

This interpretation of the horse, inspired by a foundational idea in Eastern philosophy regarding perspectives, energy, and freedom, is designed to unlock its potential through individual interpretation. The sculpted forms and open spaces invite viewers to actively engage with the piece, completing its meaning with their unique perspectives and reflecting the layered complexity and evolving character of Hennessy’s cognacs.

Hennessy’s legacy with China dates to 1859, when the Maison first shipped twelve crates of Old Pale Cognac to Chinese shores. Through the decades, Hennessy has honored Chinese culture by commemorating key festivals, milestones, and creative collaborations. From the arrival of Hennessy X.O in 1872 to the symbolic docking of the “Spirit of Hennessy” in Shanghai in 1992, and the cultural journey of the Hennessy X.O Silk Road in 2017, the Maison has continued to champion shared values of tradition, innovation, and artistry.

Each offer is a testament to this enduring relationship—an invitation to celebrate the fusion of heritage and modernity that unites both worlds

“The Year of the Horse is a spectacular moment of awakening,” said Vincent Montalescot, Chief Marketing Officer of Hennessy. “It symbolizes freedom, new perspectives, and forward momentum—values that speak deeply to our own story. Through this collection, we honor over 160 years of shared history with China and celebrate the cultural energy that continues to inspire us.”

The Hennessy Chinese New Year 2026 collection will be available in select global markets beginning November 2025.
