Hennessy ‘Richard Hennessy’ First Edition Bottled 1990 Cognac (750ml)
The Hennessy ‘Richard Hennessy’ First Edition, bottled in 1990, stands as a remarkable offering from the renowned producer. This exceptional blend incorporates some of the most rare eaux-de-vie from Hennessy’s carefully maintained reserves, originating from The Founder’s Cellar. It is a confident and assertive expression, reflecting decades of careful selection and aging.
The creation of Richard Hennessy Cognac is marked by its extremely limited quantity, with only 12 tierçons produced. A tierçon is a historic barrel, handcrafted from French oak by generations of cooper Masters at Hennessy’s own workshop. The presentation of this liquid is equally distinctive, housed in a bold, architectural decanter made of Baccarat crystal. World-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind designed both the decanter and the accompanying ritual accessories, which include glasses, a fusil, and a tray.
This particular bottling, the First Edition, was released in 1990 and is presented in a 750 ml format. Its limited production and specific vintage mark it as a sought-after piece for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
How to drink
To fully appreciate the depth and complexity of Richard Hennessy Cognac, it is recommended to serve it neat in the accompanying crystal glasses. This allows the full range of aromas and flavors to unfold. It is best enjoyed on significant occasions or as a contemplative experience.
