As the night of the full moon approaches once again, Hennessy transforms the essence of reunion found in this festive season into a stunning aesthetic within a bottle. This year, they unveil two special Mid-Autumn Festival editions of their iconic cognacs – Hennessy X.O and Hennessy V.S.O.P. In a groundbreaking collaboration with the premium French pastry brand Lady M, they elevate the tasting experience by incorporating cognac into exquisite desserts, merging visual beauty, taste, and festive atmosphere to redefine how we savor this cherished holiday.
This year’s Hennessy X.O Mid-Autumn limited edition bottle features a deep amber gradient that envelops the classic bottle design, while a silver frost relief effect outlines the Enjoy with ice. ice theme. The inscription on the bottle, Savor It on Ice, encourages drinkers to step beyond tradition by adding ice cubes or sparkling water to the X.O, allowing them to experience the fresh side hidden within its rich body, much like the gentle light and shadows cast by moonlight on an icy surface during an autumn night.
Hennessy V.S.O.P chooses a striking red-orange palette as its main theme, drawing fluid design inspiration from the rhythm and energy of the cocktail-making process. Mix It Like Hennessy not only pays tribute to the brand’s free-mixing style but also recommends a refreshing combination of 40 ml of V.S.O.P with oolong tea and ice cubes, Henny Tea—blending the fragrant notes of cognac with the essence of tea, adding a relaxed vibe to your Mid-Autumn gathering.
These two limited edition bottles are not merely design pieces; they represent the brand’s reinterpretation of cognac culture—transforming tasting from a traditional ritual into a celebration of holiday aesthetics and creative living. This year, this creativity extends even into the realm of desserts.
Hennessy is collaborating for the first time with Lady M, the American French pastry brand, to launch Cognac Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake . This limited-edition festive dessert is inspired by Hennessy V.S.O.P, featuring rich chocolate mousse, caramel heart, cognac gelée, chocolate cake, and a crispy biscuit base. Topped with white chocolate cognac ganache and light cream, it delivers a refined texture and a lingering finish, making it the most luxurious bite to enjoy during this Mid-Autumn Festival.
Dessert lovers can indulge in the exclusive Lady M x Hennessy package at the Lady M branch on Stanley Street in Central. For just HKD 168, you can savor a cup of V.S.O.P (available neat or on the rocks) paired with a festive cake. The first 20 customers who purchase a whole cake will also receive a mini Hennessy V.S.O.P (50ml) as a gift—this offer is first come, first served and is highly collectible.
In addition to the dessert collaboration, Hennessy has teamed up with Hotel ICON’s top Michelin-recommended restaurant, Above & Beyond, to introduce a limited-time offer, Cognac × Cantonese Seafood Feast.
