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". |
