✨ Technical Specifications
Created in 1996 to honor the Irish founder of the maison, Richard Hennessy is the ultimate tribute to over two centuries of distilling mastery. This ultra-premium Cognac is an extraordinary blend of more than 100 of the rarest and oldest eaux-de-vie in Hennessy's reserves, some dating back to the early 19th century. These precious spirits, crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the finest crus of the region, are aged in French oak casks within the historic 'Paradis' cellar. The resulting masterpiece, presented in a hand-blown Baccarat crystal decanter, offers unparalleled complexity with notes of delicate spices, dried fruits, leather, and floral undertones, culminating in a virtually endless finish that defines the pinnacle of the blender's art.
🍾 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.
