Richard Hennessy Cognac - Baccarat Crystal
Richard Hennessy Cognac. Baccarat Crystal. 70cl. 40%.
A fabulous old bottle of Hennessy’s ne plus ultra prestige edition, Richard Hennessy. This bottle was created by Baccarat crystal and has the glass stopper and vine leaf floral decoration that identifies it as the second edition of this legendary cognac, which appeared in the early years of this century and was discontinued around 2008. Blended using the oldest and greatest aged eaux-de-vie in Hennessy’s legendary paradis cellar, Richard Hennessy is one of the ultimate taste sensations in the world of cognac.
Hennessy is one of the Big Four cognac producers, alongside Martell, Remy Martin and Courvoisier. The business was founded in Charente by Irishman Richard Hennessy in 1765 after a military career in the French Army. The Hennessy brand was registered as Jas. Hennessy & Co. in 1813 by Richard Hennessy’s son James, who appointed Jean Fillioux as his Master Blender, a position that has been held by Fillioux’s descendants for seven generations since.
James Hennessy invented the VSOP classification in 1817 and his son Maurice Hennessy later introduced the star rating system for Cognac in 1865 and invented the XO category in 1870. In 1971 Kilian Hennessy oversaw the company’s merger with Moet & Chandon to create Moet-Hennessy, which today is jointly owned by parent company LVMH and Diageo.
