✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy 8 is an extraordinary, ultra-prestige Cognac created to celebrate a historic milestone: the passing of the master blender torch from the seventh generation, Yann Fillioux, to the eighth, Yannick Fillioux. This monumental release is a masterclass in blending, composed of eight exceptional eaux-de-vie. Seven of these precious liquids were selected by Yann Fillioux to represent the legacy of his predecessors, while the eighth was chosen by Yannick to symbolize the future of the Maison. Sourced from the finest crus of Cognac, primarily Grande Champagne, and distilled using traditional copper Charentais alembics, these eaux-de-vie have aged for decades in Limousin oak casks. The result is a spirit of unparalleled complexity, offering notes of white flowers, candied citrus, and delicate spices, housed in a magnificent Baccarat crystal decanter designed by artist Arik Levy.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og er i dag verdens førende cognachus med beliggenhed ved bredden af Charente-floden i Cognac. Husets uforlignelige kvalitet bygger på århundreders savoir-faire og et historisk, traditionsrigt samarbejde gennem flere generationer med Fillioux-familiens Master Blenders. Hennessy udvælger nøje Ugni Blanc-druer fra Cognacs fineste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois – som dobbeltdestilleres i traditionelle kobberkedler og efterfølgende modnes tålmodigt på fintporede franske egetræsfade. Huset er berømt for at sætte internationale standarder, og det ikoniske sortiment spænder fra den elegante VSOP Privilège og den oprindelige X.O, skabt i 1870, til enestående prestigeblandinger som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy.
