Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 9 January, 2026 – Hennessy ushers in Chinese New Year 2026 with the debut of its new collection of limited editions, created in celebration of the Year of the Horse. The collection presents specially designed editions of Hennessy V.S.O.P, Hennessy X.O and Hennessy Paradis, each wrapped in bold artistry inspired by a dynamic interpretation of the horse —an enduring symbol of energy and freedom.
This year’s design combines metallic copper tones with deep mineral shades, grounded by a rich, flowing red palette that reflects prosperity, celebration, and good fortune. At the centre of the design is a galloping horse, elegant, sculptural, and full of movement, expressing both artistic fluidity and the layered depth found in every Hennessy expression.
Crafted to symbolise fresh beginnings, every bottle reflects the optimism that defines the year ahead. This depiction of the horse, inspired by a foundational idea in Eastern philosophy regarding perspectives, energy, and freedom, is designed to unlock its potential through an individual lens. The interplay of sculpted forms and open spaces invites personal interpretation, mirroring the complexity and evolving character of Hennessy’s cognacs, crafted over time with skill and intention.
“In Malaysia, Chinese New Year is shaped by moments spent with friends and family. Our limited-edition bottle, inspired by the Year of the Horse, symbolises fresh perspectives, and forward momentum. These values bring people together and reflect our journey as a Maison.
“Whether savoured during reunion dinners, presented as a thoughtful gift, or collected as a coveted collector’s edition, a bottle of Hennessy connects generations by bridging tradition with modernity. Through this collection, we celebrate the Chinese-Malaysian community and invite them to continue to share in these moments of joy and togetherness.” said Laura Drozdowski Lot, Marketing Director of Moët Hennessy Southeast Asia.
Hennessy’s relationship with Chinese culture began in 1859, when the Maison first shipped twelve crates of Old Pale Cognac to Chinese shores. Since then, Hennessy has commemorated the nation’s key festivals, milestones, and creative collaborations. From the arrival of Hennessy X.O in 1872, to the symbolic docking of the “Spirit of Hennessy” in Shanghai in 1992, and the cultural journey of the Hennessy X.O Silk Road in 2017. This enduring relationship reflects shared values of heritage, innovation, and artistry.
The Hennessy Chinese New Year 2026 Limited-Edition Collection is now available across selected retail stores, supermarkets, wine specialists and Chinese independent retail stores across Malaysia, while stocks last.
