Hennessy And Scott Campbell Join Forces

Hennessy celebrates the newest addition to its Very Special Limited Edition series with a bespoke design crafted by Scott Campbell, the acclaimed and multi-talented American tattoo artist.

Scott Campbell is best known for tattooing stars and icons from the worlds of cinema, fashion, art and design at his Brooklyn studio, including Marc Jacobs, Heath Ledger, Penelope Cruz and many more. Since 2007, his recognition has stretched beyond the world of tattoo art into the global contemporary art scene, with his sculptures, paintings and drawings exhibited in galleries across the USA, Mexico, Europe and Asia.

Inspired by the intricate penmanship of James Hennessy, the Maison’s second-generation visionary and an inveterate traveller, Scott Campbell infused the Very Special label

with his own sensibility. His design is based on a pair of wings, a universal symbol of freedom and travel. Decorative elements include an intricate silver and black motif incorporating Hennessy Very Special’s three stars, an iconic signature of the brand.

Scott Campbell’s design represents ‘a conversation between two people’, as the artist cleverly puts it: “It’s a conversation between me and everything that’s gone into Hennessy for hundreds of years. It was fun to explore Hennessy’s history, take cues from the brand’s visual identity and just project my world onto it in a way that still respects its personality, and honours its traditions.”

Hennessy Very Special Limited Edition by Scott Campbell is available now at O’Brien’s, Molloys, Next Door and major Independent off licences for RPP €36.00. For further information, visit Hennessy.com.
