Hennessy Paradis Imperial Cognac – a blend of both 19^th and 20^th century eaux-de-vie is the creation of master blender, Yann Fillioux.  He credits his inspiration for Paradis Imperial to a unique order made back in the year 1818 by the Russian Empress, Maria Feodorovna.  She asked for a cognac that was an “excellent, very old, gold-coloured eau-de-vie of the very finest quality.”

The decanter was designed by talented newcomer – Stephanie Balaine – who made her name with Baccarat and the collection, Damoiselles.  Each bottle is uniquely numbered, and features an 18 carat gold plated label, crystal cabochon and beautifully faceted exterior.
