✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exclusive release represents a striking collaboration between the historic house of Hennessy and the acclaimed British designer Tom Dixon. Released as part of the Hennessy X.O Exclusive Collection, the "Gold Rush" edition features a contemporary, tessellated carafe finished in a brilliant copper-gold sheen, mimicking the raw geological beauty of crystals and gold ore. Inside this avant-garde bottle is the classic Hennessy X.O blend, first created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his inner circle of friends. This legendary Cognac is a masterful assemblage of over one hundred eaux-de-vie aged up to 30 years in French Limousin oak casks. The grapes, predominantly Ugni Blanc, are harvested from the premier crus of the Cognac region, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. The resulting spirit is celebrated for its deep amber hue, robust structure, and complex layers of candied fruit, wild cocoa, and warm baking spices.
🍾 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.
