✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to celebrate the historic 250th anniversary of the maison in 2015, the Hennessy 250 Collector Blend is a monumental tribute to centuries of blending mastery. Curated by seventh-generation Master Blender Yann Fillioux, this exceptional Cognac is a blend of eaux-de-vie aged between 15 and 35 years. In a poetic nod to the milestone, the blend was completed by aging for several years in 250 specially commissioned, hand-crafted Limousin oak barrels of 250 liters each, resting in the historic Founder's Cellar on the banks of the Charente River. This unique maturation imparts a delicate, spicy complexity with notes of bitter orange, saffron, nutmeg, and dried flowers, underpinned by a remarkably elegant, persistent finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, Maison Hennessy is the world's leading Cognac house, nestled along the banks of the Charente River in Cognac, France. The house's enduring excellence is rooted in centuries of savoir-faire and a historic multi-generational collaboration with the Fillioux family of Master Blenders. Utilizing meticulously selected Ugni Blanc grapes from Cognac's finest crus—including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—Hennessy double-distills in traditional copper pot stills before patient maturation in fine-grained French oak casks. Renowned for setting international benchmarks, its iconic range spans the elegant VSOP Privilège and the original X.O—pioneered in 1870—to exceptional prestige assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy.
