Hennessy Paradis is defined by its graceful character and immediately delights with its rich copper colour. It is a perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, and combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture. Naturally, it has a flavourful and deep, persistent finish. Hennessy Paradis was created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979 as a tribute to symphonic 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 is true for Hennessy Paradis, a union of exceptional eaux-de-vie selected for their individual qualities to work together to create a harmonious and graceful cognac. COLOR: The eaux-de-vie have been aged only in very old barrels, thus giving Hennessy Paradis its amber gold colour and hues. NOSE: On the nose, it exudes floral notes and jasmine, underpinned by delicate notes of cinnamon and exotic fruits. PALATE: A graceful, silky texture runs all the way through to a flavourful and deep, persistent finish.
