A monumental tribute to the founder of the maison, the Richard Hennessy Daniel Libeskind Decanter represents the pinnacle of Cognac craftsmanship, marrying centuries of liquid history with avant-garde architectural design. This ultra-prestige blend is crafted from some of the rarest and oldest eaux-de-vie in Hennessy's founder's cellar, with some components aging for up to two centuries. Made primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from the region's finest crus, notably Grande Champagne, the spirit undergoes traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills before its incredibly long slumber in French Limousin oak casks. The legendary master blenders of the Fillioux family have curated this blend to offer unparalleled complexity, exhibiting notes of delicate spices, preserved fruits, leather, and undergrowth. To house this liquid masterpiece, visionary architect Daniel Libeskind designed a striking, geometric Baccarat crystal decanter that juxtaposes the soft, organic curves of classic Cognac heritage with sharp, crystalline modern angles, creating a stunning dialogue between past and future.
