Price

Characteristics: Paradis Extra is the fruit of a series of marriages between hundreds of different eaux-de-vie, nurtured to maturity by successive generations of the same family of cellar masters.

Tasting notes: 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 Extra reveals itself to be smooth, full-bodied and long- lasting on the palate. Its force and finesse, plus the delicate flavor of rancio, give it a perfect balance.

How to enjoy Paradis Extra: Exceptional cognacs such as Paradis Extra should be enjoyed in tall, thin glasses that narrow slightly towards the top.

Such glasses retain the aroma and transmit easily the warmth of the hands to the spirit. Releasing its freshness and fruitiness, take a small mouthful; the flavor fills the palate with a fine and long finish.

Richard Hennessy Cognac

Bin No

MOET/191

Size

1 x 70cl

Price

£1,450.00

Characteristics: Richard Hennessy is made up of more than 100 of the most exceptional eaux-de-vie, aged up to 200 years. Each one has been selected for its unique qualities. The finesse of the finished cognac is a testament to years spent slowly maturing in oak barrels.

Tasting notes: Balanced and complex, the rich bouquet slowly  releases a succession of aromas that have built up over the years: vanilla, spices, pepper and delicately fragrant flowers.

In the mouth, the infinitely refined  texture reveals an extraordinary palette of flavours that blends spices, the subtle essence of ripe fruit and the finesse of oak.

How to enjoy Richard Hennessy: To savour the full flavor of this exceptional cognac is a privilege. Take a tulip-shaped taster’s glass, or a small snifter of the finest crystal. Ensure the opening of the glass is small. This will guarantee the gradual release of the aromas. According to Talleyrand, celebrated 18th-century French politician and illustrious customer of Hennessy, to enjoy a cognac such as Richard  Hennessy one must "cradle the glass in the palm of one’s hand, swirl the spirit to release its full aroma, lift it to one’s nostrils, inhale deeply  and then... set it down and discuss its virtues".
