✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy Bras d'Or, translating to 'Golden Arm,' is a legendary and historic expression from the world's most famous Cognac house. Its name pays homage to the iconic arm-and-broadsword coat of arms of founder Richard Hennessy. First introduced in the mid-20th century, Bras d'Or was crafted as a highly refined, premium blend positioned between VSOP and XO. Distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the chalky soils of the Cognac region, the eaux-de-vie were double-distilled in traditional copper alembic stills and aged in Limousin oak casks. This rare expression is celebrated for its deep amber hue, complex aromas of dried fruits, subtle spices, and mellow oak, representing a golden era of Hennessy's master blending heritage.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 ved Charente-flodens bredder af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og har lige siden defineret den moderne cognacs prestige og identitet. Huset henter primært Ugni Blanc-druer fra regionens fremmeste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois. Her sikrer den kalkrige undergrund og det tempererede, maritime mikroklima grundvine med en markant, spændstig syre. Efter traditionel dobbeltdestillation på bærmen i klassiske Charentais-kobberkedler modner de unge eaux-de-vie på finkornede franske egetræsfade fra Tronçais og Limousin, fordelt mellem både fugtige og tørre lagringskældre. Den minutiøse blanding varetages i dag af Renaud Fillioux de Gironde og husets velrenommerede smagekomité som ottende generation i Fillioux-dynastiet. Lige fra referenceaftapninger som V.S.O.P Privilège og X.O til mesterlige prestigeblend som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy inkarnerer huset en enestående renhed, struktur og århundreders uovertrufne blendingekspertise.
