Joe Canal's Presents Hennessy VS Gemeos Edition!

Introducing the Hennessy V.S Limited Edition bottle designed by Os Gemeos. Brazilian-born identical twins Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo (Os Gemeos translates as "The Twins") emerged from the hip-hop and street art scene of 1980’s Sao Paulo to take their place among the world’s most respected and recognizable artists. Following in the footsteps of Futura and KAWS, our partnership with Os Gemeos is the latest Hennessy collaboration with signature artists, reflecting our centuries of commitment to creativity and artistry.

For Os Gemeos, it was in keeping with their boundless vision to design a limited edition bottle for Hennessy V.S. "The label represented a new medium that could carry our message... It was a fluid process for us to go from one format, like the street, to another, like the bottle label." In both process and finished artwork, the Hennessy + Os Gemeos partnership reflects deeply held, shared values: “Hennessy is not just a drink to us, it is history…We take a similar approach in our work—we draw what we believe in, and we aim to preserve those visions.”

Just as Hennessy is defined by its origins in Cognac, the work of Os Gemeos is similarly imbued with a sense of place. "São Paolo made us who we are... It was an environment that called on us to improvise." Inspired by their vast and diverse city, and informed by their journey to Cognac, Os Gemeos weave fanciful characters into their colorful dreamscapes. "We live in our dream world 24 hours a day, and our art is a way of putting outside what we find inside. For us, that's what life is about—continually opening new windows."

This limited edition Cognac is now available in our Woodbridge and Lawrenceville locations for only $34.99! A must for every collector!
