Hennessy Paradis

Description

Distinctive for its graceful character and immediately delights with its rich copper color. A perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, it combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture. Naturally, it has a flavourful and deep, persistent finish.

Hennessy Paradis was created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979 as a tribute to his love of music. He compared the blend to ‘a symphonic orchestra’, as “classical music that takes you away and connects with your emotions.” The number of instruments in an orchestra is not necessarily a measure of its success, but rather the purity of sound it creates and the virtuosity of the conductor. The same holds true for Hennessy Paradis, a union of exceptional eaux-de-vie selected for their individual qualities that together create a harmonious and graceful cognac.

Color

 :

The eaux-de-vie in Hennessy Paradis have been aged only in very old barrels, thus giving this cognac its amber gold color and hues.

Nose

 :

On the nose, this blend exudes floral notes and jasmine, underpinned by delicate notes of cinnamon and exotic fruit.

Taste

 :

A graceful, silky texture leads to a flavorful and deep, persistent finish.

Richard Hennessy

Description

A masterpiece for a masterpiece

Confident and assertive, this exceptional blend is made from some of the scarcest eaux-de-vie in Hennessy’s reserves, carefully selected and preserved in The Founder’s Cellar.

For this reason, Richard Hennessy cognac has been crafted in an extremely limited quantity: 12 tierçons, a historic barrel handcrafted in French oak by generations of cooper Masters at Hennessy’s own barrel-making workshop.

In a meeting of visionary minds, Richard Hennessy’s monumental legacy finds a contemporary incarnation in a bold, architectural, and graceful decanter in Baccarat crystal, as well as ritual accessories (glasses, a fusil, and a tray) designed by the world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind.

The result is at once intuitive and unexpected: a monumental tribute to a pioneer.

Color

 :

Its wonderful amber colours show a pure and warm intensity, foretelling of an undeniable power to come.

Nose

 :

The nose is filled with delicate flowery notes, soft spices, nutmeg and hints of fennel.

Taste

 :

The spices, notes of leather and preserved fruits appear and reappear over and over, returning to emphasis the aromatic complexity of the nose in one magnificent symphony of flavour.
