Paradis: The Founder's Cellar
Hennessy reserves its rarest eaux-de-vie for Paradis from the start — eaux-de-vie identified for this blend age only in the Paradis cellar, some of them among the house's oldest stocks. The result is a cognac of coppery gold depth: floral and jasmine on the nose with cinnamon and exotic fruit, a graceful silky palate of dried rose petal and rose-jam perfume against spicy depth, and a flavourful, deep, persistent finish.

How to Enjoy
In a tulip or balloon glass, neat, at room temperature — twenty minutes of air opens the floral character. This is a decanter-grade cognac: savour it, or gift it in the presentation decanter it deserves.
