The Legend of Hennessy
Hennessy was originally named after Richard Hennessy. Richard Hennessy was not a native of France, but was born in Kirkshire, Ireland. (CountyCork). In 1745, he went to France to serve as a soldier. In 1750, he served as a foreign officer in Louis XIII's Guards. He was stationed in the Cognac area. He often tasted brandy, and then he realized the beauty of brandy and bought a lot of it. The bottles were given to relatives and friends in his hometown, and they all praised Brandy, which became the main reason for running the wine business in the future.
While serving in the military, Richard Hennessy even obtained the "Certificate on Brave and Gallant" (Certificate on Brave and Gallant), which became the symbol of Hennessy Distillery. After being discharged from the army, Richard Hennessy started business in the Cognac area in 1757 and established the Hennessy Distillery in 1765. In the early days of its establishment, Hennessy's sales were already outstanding. At that time, the export countries were mainly the United Kingdom and other major cities. Today, Hennessy's sales are still in a leading position.
Hennessy had been supplying the royal family for 26 years. In 1815, it was awarded a letter by the French Emperor "King Louis XVIII" and was selected as the main wine supplier to the Congress. At that time, Hennessy's order record book in 1765 (Irishman Richard Hennessy) showed a large number of orders, mainly in Britain and other major cities.
Where did the series come from?
One day in 1865, when Maurice Hennessy of the Hennessy family was bored, he happened to see the position of the series. There is a star pattern on it, which triggered his idea of ??adding this star to the Brandy bottle. Later, he put it into practice and divided Hennessy Cognac into one-star, two-star and three-star concepts to make it easier for customers to distinguish cognac. quality, and became the founder of Samsung Cognac.
The legend of the creation of wine bottles
When it comes to wine bottles, Hennessy’s contribution cannot be forgotten.
Before 1830, all Brandy products were sold in wooden barrels. Because there were no labels on the surface of the barrels regarding the place of origin, manufacturer and quality, customers could not identify the quality of Brandy. At that time, Maurice Hennessy saw this and completely changed this confusing situation. Based on his personal creativity, he successfully designed glass bottle Cognac, which was limited to higher quality wines (today's XO category). The bottles also come with label descriptions so that customers can clearly identify high-quality wines. In 1830, when wine was first shipped to other cities by ship, and by 1858, the use of wine bottles became more widespread.
The original origin of Hennessy XO
In 1870, the cellar master used the oldest and finest 'Eaux-de-vie' according to the guidelines of Maurice Hennessy. 'Brewed into rich and full-bodied premium wines, in the first ten years, these precious wines were only available to family members or relatives and friends. Since Hennessy has received repeated praise around the world, and is especially appreciated and praised by Asians, Hennessy decided to make this precious wine public to the world, and Hennessy XO was born.
In 1888, there was an official record of XO grade Brandy being sold in France. In 1900, the Hennessy Distillery officially registered the XO grade with the French government, so that in the future All brandies with the same characteristics must be called XO. With the premium quality of Hennessy's mellow and fragrant fragrance, Hennessy XO was quickly hailed as the benchmark for the best cognac and was highly respected by the industry. Today, even though there are many cognac products claiming to be XO flooding the market, Hennessy XO is the only one who created the real XO grade cognac. Therefore, its promotional slogan has the slogan "The origin of XO, the foundation of XO".
High-efficiency production
Hennessy has 500 hectares of vineyards and 28 distilleries. However, these cannot fully meet Hennessy’s needs, so there are more than 20 The vineyard signed a contract with Hennessy to supply the grapes produced to it. In addition, Hennessy also purchases the distilled spirits it needs from other distillers. All these distilled spirits are put into oak barrels produced in Satoyama, and then placed in Hennessy's 25th basement. Therefore, the company owns up to 180,000 barrels of original wine, making it the company with the highest production volume in the winemaking industry. In order to maintain high-efficiency production, Hennessy mainly uses mechanical harvesting, and the rest is manually harvested.
Meet the needs of the market
When Hennessy was in the 1980s, as of 1980, the annual sales volume around the world reached 130 million bottles of Brandy. In order to maintain Hennessy's leadership position, in addition to using the finest grapes from the grape growing area, each time the brandy is brewed, they divide different cognac producing areas into 19 or 20 types of brandy with different ages. , to distinguish the wine quality and grade.
Each exporting city requires different Cognac quality and taste. For example, in Asia, Hong Kong and China, for example, prefer brandy with a sweeter taste. In order to meet the needs of the market, different flavors will be prepared for each country it is exported to. Hennessy bartenders use their sense of smell and taste, as well as their extraordinary memory, to select wines from different production areas, prepare different wine qualities and tastes, use glass bottles to hold several bottles and add labels to record them, such as this taste It was welcomed by the local countries and this bottle will be used as a recipe for export in the future.

2. Governor of Hong Kong
John Pope Hennessy (April 5, 1834 - June 3, 1891) was the 8th British Governor of Hong Kong. Hennessy Road in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong Island is now named after him.
Hennessy took office as the Governor of Hong Kong on April 2, 1877. During his tenure, he realized the importance of the Chinese to the economic development of Hong Kong. The Chinese in Hong Kong at that time were classified as second-class citizens. Seeing this , Hennessy repealed the law prohibiting Chinese from purchasing land, building buildings and operating businesses in Central, causing the Central area to begin to develop rapidly. Just as he had done when he was a chief in other places in the past, he lifted the knot of the nine-tailed flogging instrument. In addition, Hennessy allowed Hong Kong Chinese to naturalize as British citizens and become British citizens. In 1880, he appointed Wu Tingfang as the first Chinese member of the Legislative Council (the predecessor of the Legislative Council and the Legislative Council) and broke the situation in which Chinese were not allowed to participate in politics since 1842. Because the status and enlightenment of the Chinese were greatly improved during his term of office, the British were dissatisfied, and British businessmen reported it to London. In the end, even the road he named did not appear until a long time after he left office.
In addition to the improvement of the status of the Chinese in Hong Kong, Hennessy also played an important role in organizing the Po Leung Kuk to protect good girls. In addition, he also reformed Hong Kong's penal system, including reducing flogging. However, the then British Secretary of State for the Colonies, Earl Caernarfon, believed that if flogging was stopped for certain classes of criminals in China, it would attract criminals from Guangdong. Come to Hong Kong.
Although it improved the status of the Chinese in Hong Kong, Hennessy advocated English teaching in education policy, including changing the original four-hour Chinese and English teaching system at the then Central College to five-hour English teaching. Two and a half hours of Chinese teaching, and English is also listed as a compulsory course. Starting in 1895, it was stipulated that newly established schools that did not use English as the medium of instruction could not receive government funding.
