✨ Technical Specifications
The Hennessy Tribute to Picasso is an extraordinary, highly limited release that bridges the worlds of fine art and master distillation. Created to honor the legacy of Pablo Picasso, this ultra-rare Cognac is composed of exceptionally old eaux-de-vie drawn from the deepest recesses of Hennessy's historic Founder's Cellar, the Chai Paradis. The blend is crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes cultivated in the chalky soils of Cognac's most prestigious crus, particularly Grande Champagne. Following traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, these precious spirits were aged for decades in Limousin forest oak casks. The result is a liquid masterpiece of profound complexity, displaying a deep amber hue, a rich 'rancio' character, and layered aromas of dried apricots, old leather, sweet spices, and cocoa, reflecting the creative genius of both the artist and the Fillioux family of master blenders.

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.
