About the brand
Hennessy V.S is the benchmark for the "Very Special" category worldwide. While the 750ml bottle is the standard, the 200ml "Flask" or "Pocket" size is highly popular for its portability and frequent limited-edition designs. In 2025 and 2026, Hennessy has leaned heavily into the "Festive Collection," releasing this 200ml format in bold, monochromatic colors (Pink, Blue, and Green) intended as collectibles or premium gifts.
