Hennessy Richard Hennessy Cognac 700ml
DescriptionHennessy Richard represents the absolute pinnacle of the house's art, a blend so exceptional it bears the founder's name. Created from the rarest eaux-de-vie in the Hennessy reserves, some over 200 years old, this is more than cognac—it's liquid history. Presented in crystal designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, Richard Hennessy stands as one of the world's most prestigious spirits.
The blend composition is a closely guarded secret, but it's known to contain the finest Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie from the Fillioux family's private reserves. Each component was selected across generations, with current Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde using selections made by his ancestors. The result transcends normal cognac categories, existing in a realm of its own.
In appearance, the deep mahogany color with amber facets mesmerizes. The nose requires patience—initial silence gives way to extraordinary complexity. Layers unfold gradually: aged leather, Cuban tobacco, dried roses, candied citrus, and exotic spices. The rancio character is profound, adding umami depth. On the palate, two centuries reveal themselves in waves of flavor that seem to exist beyond normal taste. The texture is otherworldly—simultaneously powerful and ethereal. Flavors morph continuously: now fruit, now spice, now something indefinable that speaks of centuries in oak. The finish is essentially infinite, with echoes of flavor continuing long after the glass is empty. This is cognac at its absolute zenith, for moments when only perfection suffices.
