Drawing from the expertise of the craftsmen who came before and the exquisite reserves of eaux-de-vie in the Founder’s Cellar, Fillioux, a sixth-generation blender, created his own unique blend. Fillioux was also a lover of music, and, during his more than 30 years overseeing the creation of Hennessy cognacs, he involved the maison in many musical partnerships. It is no surprise, then, that Paradis is a harmonious blend – a symphony of flavours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe paradis is a cognac maison’s most venerated cellar, where the oldest, most precious eaux-de-vie are stored. Hennessy’s paradis was set up by Richard Hennessy, the maison’s founder, in a small warehouse on the River Charente in 1774. Acquired by his successors in 1850, it was subsequently renamed the Founder’s Cellar – and eight generations of the Hennessy family have kept the rarest spirits here. The cellar is a timeless testimony to unique know-how, where the eaux-de-vie, some more than a century old, rest until they achieve their point of elegance and are ready to be blended into the finest cognacs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe superlative yet subtle quality of Hennessy Paradis is as much a result of how the eaux-de-vie are aged as how old they are. Initially matured in casks, the subtle aromas of the oak help to create a harmonious balance with the finesse of the spirit contained. These very old casks, freed of their most powerful tannins, gradually impart their splendid array of copper and gold tones and complex flavours. The eaux-de-vie are then blended, or moved into glass demi-johns to await blending into the finely nuanced and harmoniously balanced Paradis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moet Hennessy UK","offers":[{"title":"NV \/ 70cl","offer_id":9362350342188,"sku":"MHUK-HENPARA70","price":995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/8412\/5228\/products\/Hennessy_Paradis.jpg?v=1676665372"},{"product_id":"hennessy-vs","title":"Hennessy VS","description":"\u003cp\u003eHennessy V.S Very Special is the reference cognac the world over.
