Hennessy Paradis Imperial Cognac

Hennessy Paradis Imperial Cognac is an exceptional prestige expression created by Hennessy Master Blender Yann Fillioux as the culmination of the Maison's art of selection. Only a tiny proportion of eaux-de-vie from any harvest possess the finesse required to potentially enter the blend, with Hennessy stating that approximately 10 out of every 10,000 meet this standard. Matured slowly in aged oak barrels selected to preserve delicacy rather than impart excessive tannin, Paradis Imperial combines remarkable maturity with an unusually graceful, floral and refined character.

Food Pairing: Fine aged cheeses, delicate foie gras preparations, lightly smoked seafood, almond pastries, white chocolate, fresh stone fruit, and subtly spiced desserts.

Tasting Notes: Surprisingly light golden in colour for a Cognac of such maturity, with exceptional finesse, floral freshness and a delicate structure accented by subtle smoke and spice.

Nose: Fresh and floral with jasmine and orange blossom, followed by delicate spice and smoky nuances.

Palate: Exceptionally elegant and graceful, displaying a light, refined structure with persistent floral character and subtle smoky and spicy accents.

Finish: Delicate yet remarkably persistent, with pure floral notes edged by lingering smoke and spice.
