In an exciting collaboration, Hennessy’s Web3 platform, H3NSY, has unveiled a limited edition V.S.O.P bottle co-created by their exclusive Web3 community, CafĂ© 11, and minted on BlockBar. This marks the first time Hennessy has engaged its community as creative directors for a V.S.O.P bottle.

The journey began with CafĂ© 11 community members participating in votes and co-creation sessions to design the artwork for the limited edition bottle. World-renowned artist John P. Dessereau, known as Johnsville, joined forces with CafĂ© 11 to refine the concept. Hennessy’s packaging design agency then transformed the artwork into the bottle rendering, box design, and bottle NFT.
This collaborative effort demonstrates Hennessy’s commitment to engaging directly with its global audience, breaking traditional boundaries, and celebrating shared creativity.
“It’s truly exceptional to embark on this journey with our CafĂ© 11 community, crafting something extraordinary that resonates with the heart of Hennessy’s V.S.O.P, which represents the harmony and balance of blending the old with the new.”
Danielle Barich, Web3 Director at Hennessy
BlockBar has created a token-gated page for Café 11 holders to mint their proof of ownership NFT, which will reveal one of 50 unique bottle designs. Exclusive to Café 11 NFT holders, they will be able to redeem their physical bottles using their NFT after production, expected to be completed by summer 2024.
“BlockBar continues to push boundaries in technological innovation, both in terms of product development and ownership,” said BlockBar’s Jamie Ritchie. “We are honored that Hennessy has chosen to partner with us once again to bring their groundbreaking innovation concept to life.”
“We look forward to providing the CafĂ© 11 community with the opportunity to store, gift, sell or redeem this unique release on our marketplace.”
Jamie Ritchie, BlockBar
This collaboration marks a new era where Web3 redefines luxury, culture, and community through technology and innovation, celebrating unity, creativity, and shared experiences.
