Hennessy Declassified - A Digitally Immersive Experience

Hennessy Declassified - A Digitally Immersive Experience


It was a pretty cool experience, a digitally immersive experience with Hennessy. Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to attend Hennessy Declassified, where Hennessy, the world’s leading cognac brand brought their vineyards and cellars from Cognac region to life. Pretty surreal experience, with lots of drinks to be had at the end, you have to be there to experience it.

Hennessy Declassified encouraged guests to take part in a digitally immersive experience to understand the art of Hennessy’s craftsmanship that has been passed on for eight generations over the past 252 years and its entire Hennessy cognac-making process.

We started by going through “The Tunnel”, followed by “A Walk in Cognac” where we were surrounded by the sounds of terroir – the screen showed four seasons in Cognac, from tending the terroir in spring to harvesting Ugni Blanc in autumn. At the “Double Distillation” zone, we were taken to a thorough explanation of Hennessy’s distillation process of the eaux-de-vie during winter season followed by an interactive “Infographic Wall”.

“Heart Of Hennessy”


At the “Heart of Hennessy”, the brand’s famed craftsmanship was explored by going through a comprehensive showcase of the entire cognac-making process. This was aimed to give a better understanding on how eaux-de-vie ages in French oak barrels until it is transformed into Hennessy cognac.

“Time For Decision”

We were then escorted into the “Time for Decision” room where the ritual of Hennessy’s hereditary tasting committee who are in charge of tasting, choosing and making decision for an exceptional blend for Hennessy was revealed. The Master Blender and his tasting committee will gather to taste and select the perfect eaux-de-vie at 11am every day.
