Richard Hennessy himself was a man of rare visionary mindset. Born in 1724, he was an Irishman who made his way to France and established the Maison Hennessy in Cognac in 1765. With a passion for the art of blending, he set the foundation for what would become one of the most renowned and prestigious cognac houses in the world.
Hennessy Richard cognac is a tribute to Richard Hennessy's pioneering spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence. It is a blend of over 100 eaux-de-vie, some of which have been aged for up to 200 years. These eaux-de-vie come from the most prestigious vineyards in the Cognac region, selected for their exceptional quality and character.
The result is a cognac of unparalleled complexity and depth. Hennessy Richard is characterized by its rich and opulent aromas, with notes of dried fruits, spices, and leather. On the palate, it is velvety and smooth, with a long and lingering finish that reveals layers of flavors.
What sets Hennessy Richard apart is not only the age of the eaux-de-vie used in its creation but also the expertise of the Hennessy master blender. This individual, with their extensive knowledge and experience, carefully selects and blends the eaux-de-vie to create a harmonious and balanced expression of the Maison's heritage.
