Origin: On 24 December 1818, the Dowager Empress of Russia sent an order for rare cognac tog the Hennessy Family requesting them to prepare a unique blend of exceptional finesse, a gift from the Dowager Empress to her son, Tsar Alexander I. This Extraordinary cognac began in this way a gifting tradition that made it the unrivalled present offered by the Imperial Court in Europe and beyond guests. In 2010, Hennessey paid tribute to this first delivery to the Imperial court of Russia, reviving a two century-old gifting tradition by recreating this unique blend of outstanding rarity and quality: PARADIS IMPÉRIAL.
Characteristics: Paradis Impérial encloses a treasure: Several hundred rare eaux de vie brought by James Hennessy, the son of the founder, Richard Hennessy. Paradis Impérial is an extraordinary cognac, with name derived from the Paradis Cellar, created by Richard Hennessey in 1774 to house his collection of remarkable eaux de vie. Paradis Impérial is presented in a stunning decanter toped by crystal stopper and an 18 carat gold ring.
The nose brings to mind the freshness of the first flowers of summer. Subtle notes of freshly cut grass, jasmine and orange blossom play amongst each other in a bouquet of quite remarkable intensity. The palate is a joyous reflection of the wonderful floral harmony found on the nose; a lightly smoky note appears, complemented by a gentle waft of spice, all building to a sumptuous finish.

Blended from eaux-de-vie ranging from 30 to 130 years old, “this is the jewel of the Prestige collection,” I was told by the brand ambassador. Louis Vuitton has apparently designed a trunk to hold the ornate crystal bottle. So how is the juice inside? Unexpectedly light amber in color with a very complex nose of jasmine, citrus blossom, cedar forest and a touch of forest floor. In the mouth, it’s crisp, fresh and spicy, offering attractive notes of green tobacco, licorice and spring herbs, and a lean, angular structure that stands out. Yes, there’s lots of hype, and the price is astronomical, but with Paradis Impérial you will at least get a delicious, subtle, complex brandy. (40% abv).
