✨ Tekniske specifikationer
A vibrant celebration of contemporary urban culture meeting centuries-old craftsmanship, the Hennessy VS Stephane Ashpool Limited Edition brings a colorful, iridescent aesthetic to the world's most famous Cognac. Designed by the visionary French fashion designer and founder of Pigalle, Stephane Ashpool, this release houses the classic, energetic Hennessy Very Special blend. Sourced from the chalky soils of the Cognac appellation and crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes, the liquid is a masterful blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie aged in French Limousin oak casks. This collaboration bridges the gap between the historic Charente blending traditions and modern Parisian street style, resulting in a spirit that is as visually striking as it is rich in toasted oak, fresh grapes, and subtle citrus aromas.
🍾 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.
