The Story
2016. Limited Edition. By Carnovsky. Hennessy VSOP Privilege — Hennessy's collaboration with Carnovsky, the Milan-based art studio known for their RGB technique, producing a bottle that reveals different artwork depending on the color of light illuminating it.
Carnovsky's RGB technique overlays three distinct images in red, green, and blue — each visible only under its corresponding colored light while hidden under the other two. Applied to the Hennessy VSOP bottle, this creates a single object that contains three different artworks simultaneously, visible only to viewers who illuminate it correctly. The technique makes the 2016 Carnovsky edition one of the most technically ambitious artist collaborations in Hennessy's annual limited edition bottle program.
The VSOP Privilege liquid inside is Hennessy's flagship expression — a blend of over 60 eaux-de-vie aged 4–15 years from the four crus of Cognac.
