✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy Landed 1992 represents a poetic chapter in the history of Cognac, celebrating the historic 'Early Landed' tradition. In this centuries-old practice, select casks of a single vintage—in this case, the exceptional 1992 harvest—are shipped from the banks of the Charente River to the damp, cool bonded warehouses of the United Kingdom shortly after distillation. Maturing in this maritime, high-humidity climate slows down evaporation and wood extraction, allowing the spirit to develop a remarkably elegant, pale, and ethereal character. Distilled from traditional Ugni Blanc grapes in copper Charentais alembic stills, this vintage showcases a delicate harmony of candied citrus, white flowers, and soft, integrated oak, far removed from the heavier, spice-driven profiles of traditional French-aged Cognacs.
🍾 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.
