✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This rare, commemorative bottling by the legendary House of Hennessy marks a historic 50th anniversary (1947–1997), showcasing the house's unparalleled mastery of blending historic reserves. Crafted in Cognac, France, primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the region's chalky soils, the underlying eaux-de-vie underwent traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills. Aged for decades in seasoned French Limousin oak casks, this expression represents the pinnacle of Hennessy's blending heritage. It offers an incredibly complex sensory profile defined by deep rancio, dried autumn fruits, sweet tobacco, toasted spices, and a velvety, lingering finish that speaks to its long, undisturbed maturation in the historic cellars along the Charente River.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
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.
