✨ Technical Specifications
Hennessy Paradis Imperial is an extraordinary jewel of blending, inspired by a historic commission in 1818 from the Russian Imperial Court for Tsar Alexander I. Recreated in modern times by Master Blender Yann Fillioux, this rare Cognac represents the absolute pinnacle of selection and precision. Out of any given harvest of 10,000 eaux-de-vie, only about 10 are deemed elegant and precise enough to be integrated into this blend. These exceptional spirits are matured in old French oak casks to prevent dominant woody notes, allowing the delicate, floral, and ethereal qualities of the grapes to shine. The result is a spirit of unparalleled finesse, offering notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and light smoke, representing the ultimate expression of the Fillioux family's blending legacy.
🍾 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.
