Commissioned to commemorate the historic Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, this exceptionally rare Hennessy release represents the pinnacle of the house's blending artistry. Crafted from a selection of the finest, mature eaux-de-vie resting in the founder's cellars, this Cognac is a liquid testament to Anglo-French relations and royal celebration. The blend relies on Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from the premier crus of the Cognac region, double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais stills. Aged for decades in Limousin oak casks, it developed an incredibly complex profile of dried fruits, warm spices, and old rancio, curated by the legendary Fillioux family of master blenders. This bottling is both a collector's masterpiece and a sensory journey back to the mid-20th century.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy in the historic town of Cognac, France, Hennessy has grown to become the world's most celebrated Cognac house. Headquartered on the banks of the Charente River along Rue de la Richonne, the house is renowned for its centuries-old blending heritage, famously guided by eight generations of master blenders from the Fillioux family. Utilizing traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, Hennessy ages its precious eaux-de-vie in French oak casks sourced from the Limousin forest to develop unparalleled complexity and depth. The estate's legendary portfolio is defined by iconic expressions such as the VSOP Privilège, the pioneering XO Cognac—a category first created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870—and the exquisite, ultra-premium Hennessy Paradis.
