✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Spirit of Travel Paris XO is a magnificent tribute to both the art of journeying and the historic blending mastery of the Maison. Originally created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his close circle of friends, the XO designation established a new standard for aged Cognac. This special 'Spirit of Travel' edition celebrates Paris as a historic crossroads of culture and luxury. Crafted from a selection of over one hundred premier eaux-de-vie—primarily sourced from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois crus—the blend is distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes and aged in seasoned Limousin oak casks. The result is a profoundly complex spirit, displaying a deep amber hue and a rich tapestry of aromas including candied fruits, wild cocoa, sweet cinnamon, and a subtle, peppery oak finish that lingers beautifully on the palate.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og er i dag verdens førende cognachus med beliggenhed ved bredden af Charente-floden i Cognac. Husets uforlignelige kvalitet bygger på århundreders savoir-faire og et historisk, traditionsrigt samarbejde gennem flere generationer med Fillioux-familiens Master Blenders. Hennessy udvælger nøje Ugni Blanc-druer fra Cognacs fineste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois – som dobbeltdestilleres i traditionelle kobberkedler og efterfølgende modnes tålmodigt på fintporede franske egetræsfade. Huset er berømt for at sætte internationale standarder, og det ikoniske sortiment spænder fra den elegante VSOP Privilège og den oprindelige X.O, skabt i 1870, til enestående prestigeblandinger som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy.
