✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy VS Faith XLVII Limited Edition is a striking collaboration that bridges the worlds of urban art and centuries-old blending heritage. Released as part of Hennessy's annual artistic partnership series, this bottling features artwork by the acclaimed South African interdisciplinary artist Faith XLVII, who drew inspiration from the natural elements, cycles of time, and the alchemy of blending eaux-de-vie. Inside the bottle is Hennessy's signature Very Special (VS) Cognac, a benchmark expression crafted from a blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the Fins Bois, Bons Bois, Borderies, and Grande and Petite Champagne crus. Distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes using traditional copper Charentais alembic stills, the spirit is aged in French Limousin oak casks, imparting its characteristic notes of toasted almond, brown sugar, and vibrant fruitiness balanced by a delicate touch of oak.
🍾 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.
