✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Carnival Limited Edition VS brings a vibrant, festive energy to the historic house's classic Very Special blend. Rooted in the traditional double-distillation of Ugni Blanc grapes in copper Charentais alembic stills, this expressive Cognac is a masterclass in blending. It harmonizes approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced from the premier crus of the Cognac region, aged in young Limousin oak casks to impart robust toasted notes, fresh grape aromas, and a hint of citrus. The Carnival edition pays homage to the rhythm, color, and community of global carnival celebrations, bridging Hennessy's 250-year-old French heritage with modern, dynamic cultural expressions. On the palate, it delivers the signature Hennessy warmth, defined by grilled almonds, brown sugar, and a lively, fruit-forward finish.
🍾 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.
