A much-loved heritage brand which also manages to maintain a contemporary edge is Hennessy, the French cognac house founded in 1765 by Killavullen, County Cork’s very own Richard Hennessy.

Celebrated in song by everyone from Snoop Dogg and Drake to Cardi B and Kendrick Lamar, Hennessy is also sponsoring Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS tour, a hook-up inspired by “a shared vision of culture, creativity and community.”

A joy to sip both neat and over ice, the various Hennessy iterations are also great as the star ingredient in your favourite cocktail, as the recipe for the Hennessy Pineapple attests!
