The Hennessy Richard Cognac pays tribute to the visionary founder, Richard Hennessy, who established the iconic Maison Hennessy. This blend embodies Hennessy’s heritage and excellence, crafted from some of the rarest eaux-de-vie in its reserves, each carefully selected and preserved in The Founder’s Cellar. To preserve its exceptional quality, Richard Hennessy Cognac is produced in a limited quantity of just 12 tierçons, special barrels handcrafted from French oak by master coopers at Hennessy’s own barrel-making workshop.
Richard Hennessy’s legacy is reimagined in a graceful Baccarat crystal decanter and matching accessories, designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, who sought to create a bottle as visionary as the man who inspired it. Libeskind combined the classic bottle design with Baccarat’s geometric crystalline forms, infusing soft, organic curves that add new energy and complexity to the cognac it contains.

PALATE
The aromatic complexity of the nose unfolds in a magnificent symphony of flavor, as spices, leather notes, and candied fruits make repeated appearances.
FINISH
Long-lasting and evolving, with lingering notes of warm spices and a sophisticated balance.
