“Don Henny’s” Unbelievable 160-bottle Hennessy Cognac Collection

We were contacted some days ago by Olivier, who has a great nickname and who is a passionate collector of Hennessy bottles; special editions and bottles of some quite rare limited editions, standard bottles, old bottles… well, everything. We thought this would be something to share:

My name is Olivier, I’m 32 years old. My friends call me ‘Don Henny’ because of my big passion for Hennessy.

This all started well 15 years back, when I drank cognac for the first time. This was Hennessy VS, which my friends & I like to call the Hammer.

So i discoverd Hennessy & plesure to drink it. Even until today…I still discover new things they created.

I started collecting slowley different kinds of bottles and bar atributes 8 years ago… Now I’ve got around 160 bottles of Hennessy, including all my doubles.

‘Doubles’: So I can taste one and leave one closed for the collectible value.

Hennessy Cognac Kenzo Edition

I also collect most of the other items they have from Hennessy, like glass, toy cars ,t’shirts, mirrors & everything else.

Hennessy White collection

So through all these years I have now also tasted many different products of Hennessy.

“Everything about Hennessy intrest me.”

Don Henry; maybe this is of interest too?

-Where is the usd 3000 Hennesy Timeless?
A collection of the ten last decades?
If it’s that great, why distort the cognac of the best decade with a sample of the 9 other decades?

Sounds like the Hennesy XO story. A unique blend of 64 aue-de-vie…
Another bullshit story to misguide us. Why Hennesy never offer us the best of these 64 spirits?
Then maybe the expensive bottle might be worth paying for. Please don’t add the normal rate of sugar.

Hello, I was wondering if you knew anything about Hennessy Bras D’or Golden Barrel – I have an empty bottle and the original box and I was wondering if there was any value to it. Thank you for your help!

#11 Don Henny on Feb 21, 2012, says:

@ mic Yes this has a value, not as much as it would have been original & sealed
If you sell it, contact me @ cognac-expert or

Awesome Blog! Too far and few Hennessy “Connoisseurs “. I too have a collection but nothing as Don Henny’s. Just a few bottles of V.S., Obama, Kaws, VSOP, Silver, Black, White, X.O., Paradis So i can appreciate seeing something with this much dedication and passion. This opens my eyes to soo much more out there that i never knew existed. Hopefully one day i will be fortunate enough to make it out to the region of Cognac and visit the Hennessy operation. Nice work gentlemen.

Does anyone know how much a Hennessy Private Reserve 1865 cost today? I was told the 1873 would be more expensive.
