Best Hennessy Mixers In Nigeria
Hennessy’s history dates all the way back to 1765. It was founded by Richard Hennessy, an Irish Jacobite military officer who settled near the town of Cognac. In 1987, the company merged with Louis Vuitton and Moët, and Chandon to establish the luxury wine conglomerate (LMVH). Now in existence for over 250 years, Hennessy is presently the largest producer of Cognac, producing almost a quarter of the Cognac sold in the world today!
Hennessy’s range of luxury cognacs includes XO, VS, and VSOP – all globally regarded and accepted. Apart from their global acclaim and smooth wines that can be enjoyed straight or in cocktails, Hennessy is also known to combine well with numerous drinks.
