Richard Hennessy joined an Irish regiment fighting under Louis XV when he was 26 years old and after being garrisoned in the Charente region decided to establish himself in Cognac. In 1765 he became a dealer in eaux-de-vie and founded the Hennessy firm, shipping cognac to the British aristocracy.
Hennessy is still managed by his direct descendants: the arm and broadaxe of the family coat of arms remain the house emblem. Hennessy hold 265,000 barrels, in over 40 different ageing warehouses, which is by far the largest stock of all the cognac houses, and account for over a quarter of all cognac shipments.
