✨ Technical Specifications
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.
