Inspired by the cognac blended for the Imperial Court of Russia in 1818, this Hennessy is a nuanced blend of eaux-de-vie aged for anywhere between 30 and 130 years. Hennessy Paradis Rare Cognac is is the product of more than 200 different cognacs that have been aged in Hennessy's cellars for up to a century. The cognacs are blended and allowed to age slowly in old oak casks, a process that gives Hennessy Paradis its rare, fine aroma and golden color.
