✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the ISH (1947–2007), this rare commemorative bottling by Hennessy represents the pinnacle of the house's blending artistry. Drawing on Hennessy's deep Irish roots—founded by Irish officer Richard Hennessy in 1765—this special release pays homage to decades of shared history. The blend comprises exceptional, highly aged eaux-de-vie sourced from the premier crus of the Cognac region, primarily Ugni Blanc grapes grown in chalky soils. Double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and aged in seasoned Limousin French oak casks, this Cognac displays an extraordinary depth of character. It weaves a complex sensory narrative of rich rancio, dried figs, warm baking spices, toasted leather, and subtle floral undertones, reflecting the meticulous stewardship of the Fillioux family of master blenders.
🍾 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.
