✨ Technical Specifications
Created in 1979 by Master Blender Maurice Fillioux, Hennessy Paradis is named after the legendary 'Paradis' cellar, the historic and sacred heart of the Hennessy estate where the oldest, rarest, and most precious eaux-de-vie are guarded. This exquisite blend represents a harmonious marriage of up to one hundred distinct eaux-de-vie, some dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These spirits are distilled primarily from grapes grown in the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, then aged for decades in ancient French oak casks. The resulting Cognac is a masterpiece of elegance and silkiness, defined by its copper-gold hue and a complex aromatic profile of dried flowers, jasmine, honeysuckle, and warm spices, underpinned by a delicate rancio character.
🍾 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.
