✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy's Very Special (VS) Cognac is an international icon of spirits, and the 2021 NBA Limited Edition celebrates the historic partnership between the legendary Cognac house and the National Basketball Association. Crafted from a blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced from the premier growing regions of Cognac, France, primarily Ugni Blanc grapes, this vibrant spirit is aged in young French Limousin oak casks. This specific aging process imparts robust toasted oak aromas, alongside notes of brown sugar, roasted almonds, and subtle fruitiness. The collaboration bridges the rich, centuries-old heritage of Hennessy's master blenders with the dynamic energy of global basketball culture, making it a highly collectible bottle that retains the classic, bold, and expressive flavor profile that has defined Hennessy VS for generations.
🍾 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.
