Hennessy Paradis Lunar New Year, 70cl

Hennessy Paradis was created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979 as a tribute to his love of music. He compared the blend to 'a symphonic orchestra', as ''classical music that takes you away and connects with your emotions.'' The number of instruments in an orchestra is not necessarily a measure of its success, but rather the purity of sound it creates and the virtuosity of the conductor. The same holds true for Hennessy Paradis, a union of exceptional eaux-de-vie selected for their individual qualities that together create a harmonious and graceful cognac.

Distinctive for its graceful character and immediately delights with its rich copper colour. A perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, it combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture. The eaux-de-vie in Hennessy Paradis have been aged only in very old barrels, thus giving this cognac its amber gold colour and hues. On the nose, this blend exudes floral notes and jasmine, underpinned by delicate notes of cinnamon and exotic fruit. A graceful, silky texture leads to a flavourful and deep, persistent finish.
