Hennessy Paradis Cognac 750ml
DescriptionThis second expression of Hennessy Paradis continues the house's tradition of blending excellence while potentially showcasing subtle variations that make each bottling unique. Even within the same prestigious blend, the art of cognac assembly means that slight differences in component selection or proportions can create nuanced variations, making each bottle a unique interpretation of the Paradis ideal.
The core philosophy remains unchanged—over 100 exceptional eaux-de-vie from the Paradis cellar, expertly harmonized by the Fillioux family's centuries of expertise. The components, including some dating to the 19th century, are selected for their ability to create perfect balance rather than individual prominence. This bottling maintains the exceptional quality that has made Paradis legendary among cognac connoisseurs worldwide.
In appearance, the characteristic amber-gold glow promises the excellence within. The nose reveals the classic Paradis profile—elegant florals of jasmine and honeysuckle intertwine with exotic fruits and gentle spices. The ancient components contribute that prized rancio character, adding savory depth to the bouquet. On the palate, the symphonic nature of the blend reveals itself through perfect integration. Initial sweetness of honey and vanilla evolves into more complex notes of truffle, crystallized fruits, and exotic spices. The texture remains remarkably silky throughout. The finish demonstrates why Paradis is considered among cognac's finest—exceptionally long, elegant, and complex, with flavors that continue to evolve long after the last sip. A masterpiece of the blender's art.
