  • At Spitbucket, we've had so much Cognac recently that we felt it was only fair to split them into two episodes!
    In this latest installment, Ken joins Renaud de Gironde from Hennessy who has promised to take us through the pointy-end of the Hennessy range, which include the Paradis and Richard Hennessy blends.

    These are two of my favourite Cognac's of all time, I have a few bottles of Paradis but only one bottle of Richard. These are Cognac's to drink on your own or with someone that loves and understands Cognac. I always pour some 15 minutes before I drink it and then nose the glass for 5-10 minutes before drinking it in small sips. Truly amazing Cognac.

    its actually really interesting to try and talk about all these different drinks.. of course they
    all get you drunk..but the hard work that goes into all of these drinks
    is amazing and should be talked about and appreciated..love these videos!!!

    I had the Paradis last night for the fist time and im am inclined to head staight for the store to puchase a bottle. The video does no justice for the actual taste it is truely unbelieveable if you have not had the pleasure of a sip of Paradis you must do so ASAP.

    Had a conversation with a prominent liqueur collector and retailer in HK who has been collecting since the early 1980s and been invited to all these big Cognac houses in France. I raised a question about Hennessy Extra from the 70s or earlier he told me when Hennessy introduced the Extra there were very few drinkers and production were small but later replaced it with the lower quality Paradis and then years later re-introduce the same Extra as Richard Hennessy in order to compete with Louis XIII.

    Thank-you for the review. I've sampled the Paradis previously, and so can only imagine how sublime is the Richard Hennessy. If I were to ask for anything, it would be for you or your guest to provide more analytical details of what is in the nose and taste. I ask only because while I can recognize and admire the great subtleties of aroma and taste, I don't have the skill and talent to tease apart the components that are making them so great, and for me, that is part of the fun in appreciating great spirits.
    Please pass along my thanks to Renaud for this tasting, separated as we are in time and space.

      I keep all these apart from VSOP but have to say the Richard Hennessy isn't so much better than XO as expected tbh.

    Paradis $600 per bottle😂😂😂. I was in China a few years ago and a fellow hotel guest said to me as I was enjoying my Paradis in the hotel lounge, we Chinese love cognac and we are buying every bottle. I came back to Oz and asked my local Dan's man... He agreed. I bought 2 cases then and there... What a little treasure that has turned out to be.
    If you can manage a few bottles, do so... Chinese market is going gang busters for these levels of both cognac and whisky.

    You can mix it with whatever you want, some people add a bit of water some might add a small cube of ice however it is recommended to be enjoyed on its own.

    On the most exclusive lines, I will only purchase direct from distiller/bottler. Reputable retailers have even had the misfortune of purchasing bogus product, and at these price points it's no wonder. Don't look for a bargain. However, Henessey does occasionally offer the same quality blend in a decorative crystal as well as normal bottle at much different prices. I purchase occasional exclusive releases as the silver jubilee, and others when I can verify authenticity. How many casks of 100-200 year old brandy can Hennessey have left to blend with anyway?
