Hennessy Cocktails: 3 Recipes With New Limited Edition Featuring Graffiti Artist JonOne

Born John Andrew Perello in Spanish Harlem in 1963, JonOne today is an icon among urban street artists. Hennessy has a long history of celebrating the arts and has become recognized for its innovative artistic collaborations with prominent cultural influencers from various creative disciplines.

The brand selected him for his creativity, authenticity, and innovation. JonOne took inspiration from the history of the Maison and from the iconic Very Special bottle to realize Hennessy’s canvas. The bottle design was inspired by JonOne’s own positive energy and is meant to give hope inspired by an explosion of colors, like a rainbow.

The design colors are those used by the artist in his own artwork, bringing color to the mix, creating a joyful yet sophisticated design. His energetic techniques use a lot of paint: splashes and drips of colors are part of JonOne’s universe.

The bottle is the latest in Hennessy’s series of collaborations with internationally renowned artists previously including KAWS, Futura, Os Gêmeos, Shepard Fairey, Ryan McGinness, and – most recently, Scott Campbell (the celebrity tattoo artist designed the 6th annual bottle in 2016.)
