In 2023, Hennessy celebrated the Chinese New Year by honoring the entire Chinese Zodiac, rather than focusing on a single animal. This marks a significant departure from previous years, as the brand commemorates the new cycle in the Chinese calendar. The artwork for this special edition was created by Yan Pei-Ming, a renowned contemporary artist famous for his monumental and expressive works. Yan's contribution is a powerful visual representation of the Zodiac, bringing together themes of tradition and modernity.
This collaboration with Yan Pei-Ming not only highlights the importance of the Chinese Zodiac but also reflects Hennessy's long-standing commitment to celebrating cultural heritage through art. The 2023 edition was designed to be a collector's item, with each bottle and its packaging featuring unique, symbolic elements representing the full spectrum of the Zodiac.
