Hennessy Paradis, created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979, is a harmonious cognac known for its graceful, silky character and rich copper color. It's a perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, that combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture, leaving a flavorful and deep, persistent finish. This year, to celebrate the year of the Rabbit, Hennessy has collaborated with Yan Pei-Ming, a famous contemporary artist who was born in Shanghai and has been living and working in France since 1980. Yan Pei-Ming has created a collection that honors the diversity of the Chinese zodiac. Through his joyful celebration, he conveys a message of inclusion, hope, and a promise for a better future after a particularly difficult time. The collection depicts the animals of the zodiac, which symbolize a unique truth: "Together, we go further." To celebrate the year of the Rabbit, Hennessy has collaborated with the French porcelain house, Bernardaud, to create a Limited Edition porcelain decanter for Hennessy Paradis. The decanter is adorned with a bold and audacious background featuring the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, which have been reimagined by Yan Pei-Ming. The collaboration between the artist and the Maison Bernardaud resulted in the creation of only 888 of these exquisite decanters. This elegant Hennessy Paradis cognac in a porcelain decanter by Yan Pei-Ming and Bernardaud is the perfect way to celebrate the year of the Rabbit.
You may think, that with Hennessy’s ability to innovate and push boundaries, they are a thoroughly ‘modern’ Cognac brand. This is a large part of their immense success and influence. The very French brand based in the Charente region, in fact, dates all the way back to 1765 - to Ireland - but have managed to shapeshift enough times to remain more relevant than ever before - with current Master Blender Renaud Fillioux. Their range of uber-trendy products is ever expanding, and their marketing campaigns all the more captivating. There is no doubt that ‘Henny’ culture is alive and kicking: both Cognac and a fifth of Hennessy are mentioned in what seems like hundreds of songs.
