In 1774, Richard Hennessy set up a small warehouse on the right bank of the River Charente to house his rarest 'Eaux-de-vie', now known as the founder's warehouse. It is from these stocks that Maurice Fillioux has been able to create Paradis in 1979. Paradis is the fruit of successive marriages between hundreds of different 'Eaux-de-vie' aged up to 130 years old, nurtured to maturity by successive generations of the same family of cellar masters.
Eight generations of the Hennessy family have built up what is now the finest collection of old 'Eaux-de-vie' in the world. Exceptional cognacs such as Hennessy Paradis Extra should be enjoyed using tall, thin glasses that narrow slightly towards the top. Such glasses retain the aromas and transmit easily the warmth of the hands to the spirit. To release its freshness and fruitiness, take a small mouthful; the flavour fills the palate with a fine and long finish.
Hennessy Paradis Extra exemplifies a veritable fireworks display of spices and peppery notes, softened by the fragrant scent of flowers. Finesse and elegance are the major characteristics. Perfectly harmonious in the mouth, Paradis reveals itself to be smooth, full-bodied and long lasting on the palate. Its force and finesse, plus the delicate flavour of rancio, give it a perfect balance.
