La House Hennessy reaches a new milestone in the expression of luxury and excellence with the launch of a spectacular format for one of its most emblematic cognacs: Hennessy Paradise.
Presented for the first time in a three-liter jeroboam, this jewel of a blend is revealed in a case that celebrates both the House's expertise and the majesty of its contents.
The legacy of a visionary House
Founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irish officer in the service of the King of France, Maison Hennessy quickly became a leading name in the world of cognac. Based in Cognac for over 250 years, it combines tradition, innovation, and excellence with a constant focus on transmission and precision. Guided by eight generations of master blenders from the Fillioux family, the Maison is based on a clear philosophy: to reveal the nobility of time and magnify the richness of the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne terroirs. Its ability to create exceptional cognacs is based on a meticulous selection of eaux-de-vie and controlled aging, respecting centuries-old expertise.
Cognac Paradis, a collection designed down to the smallest detail
Created in 1979 by Maurice Fillioux, the House's sixth Master Blender, Hennessy Paradis is the embodiment of finesse, time, and memory. It is the result of a blend of more than one hundred of the oldest and most precious eaux-de-vie preserved in the historic cellars of Cognac, aged exclusively in old oak barrels. The result: an extremely elegant cognac with an amber color, exuding notes of jasmine, cinnamon, and exotic fruits, carried by a texture of rare silk and a captivating finish.
Today, this liquid work is reinvented in a monumental format. The Hennessy Paradis Jeroboam is not a simple enlargement: it is a creation in its own right. Ferruccio Laviani, a renowned Italian designer, has created a carafe weighing over eight kilos of molten glass, with a generous and sensual silhouette, evoking the roundness of the blend. Each piece can be enhanced with a customizable leather accessory, featuring an engraving inspired by the traditional calligraphy found on the Maison's century-old barrels.
A ritual worthy of the finest tables
Accompanied by two crystal tulip glasses, the jeroboam is part of an approach oflifestyle French style, by offering a complete service ritual. The cognac is poured using a fusil, an elegant pipette with a handle, allowing for a controlled and delicate gesture. This ceremony is reminiscent of the gestures of the master blender, and pays homage to the precision that governs each stage of the production of Hennessy Paradis.
A Paradis collection that embodies refinement
The launch of the jeroboam enriches an already remarkable collection. The Hennessy Paradis range is now structured around four formats, each one offering a unique tasting experience. In addition to the iconic 70 cl carafe, there is the magnum (1,5 L), the brand new Mini format (5 cl) – ideal for prestigious gifts or discovery – and now the 3 liter jeroboam, the pinnacle of this range. Each format retains the essence of the original blend, offering an identical aromatic palette, although enhanced differently depending on the container. This diversification allows the House to appeal to both discerning enthusiasts and passionate collectors.
The Hennessy Paradis Jeroboam will be available from June 16, 2025, exclusively at the Hennessy boutique located at Quai Richard Hennessy, 16100 Cognac.
Its price? €9, a price that reflects the rarity, ancestral know-how, and prestige embodied by this extraordinary edition.
With this jeroboam, Hennessy is not only offering an exceptional cognac, but also a work of art. A tribute to time, to the transmission of knowledge, and to the perpetual quest for excellence.
A lineage of excellence within the Paradis universe
Beyond the original blend, the Hennessy Paradis collection has been enriched over the years with exceptional creations that celebrate the art of blending and the genius of time.
Among them, Hennessy Paradis Imperial, unveiled in 2011, stands out for its extreme precision: only 10 eaux-de-vie out of 10 tasted are selected to compose this cognac of rare elegance, dominated by floral purity and remarkable finesse.
More recently, the House presented Hennessy Paradis Golden Edition, a limited series enhanced by a precious carafe with golden reflections, celebrating special occasions.
These creations, although all drawn from the House's oldest reserves, each express a unique facet of Hennessy excellence: where Paradis evokes voluptuousness and roundness, Paradis Impérial embodies the ultimate selection, delicacy, and the precise intention of the master blender. Thus, the Paradis collection stands out as a true showcase of haute couture cognac.
