Distillery Information

Hennessy is a French producer of cognac, which has its headquarters in Cognac, France. It is one of the "big four" cognac houses, along with Martell, Courvoisier, and Rémy Martin, who together make around 85% of the world's cognac. It is know for producing Hennessy XO cognac and other very special cognacs. The Hennessy story begins with Richard Hennessy, son of Lord Ballymacmoy. He was born in 1724 in Cork but left Ireland at the age of 20 as part of the ‘Wild Geese’ generation of Irish Catholics to fight for France against Britain. Hennessy arrived in France at the age of just 20. According to one story, he was injured at the battle of Fontenoy in 1745 in present day Belgium during the War of Spanish Succession. Later he settled on the banks of the Charente River, near the town of Cognac. In 1765, he went into the brandy business with two partners and the help of loans from Parisian banks. He married a local woman called Helene and had a son called Jacques, or James as he was also known.
