✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted in 2015 to commemorate the historic 250th anniversary of the house of Hennessy, the 'Coupe des Salaries' is an exceptionally rare, non-commercial masterpiece. Created by eighth-generation Master Blender Yann Fillioux, this unique bottling was gifted exclusively to the maison's dedicated staff as a tribute to their collective craftsmanship and loyalty. The blend represents a meticulous selection of historic eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes grown across Cognac's premier crus. Aged in seasoned Limousin oak casks within the legendary cellars along the Charente River, this spirit offers an incredibly complex profile of dried fruits, warming spices, and elegant rancio, embodying two and a half centuries of unparalleled blending heritage.
🍾 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.
