Hennessy : Very Special Henny-Rita Cocktail Set

A Hennessy Very Special Cognac crafted for mixology

The Hennessy legacy: the excellence of Cognac
Founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irish military officer in the service of King Louis XV, the Hennessy House has established itself as an essential global benchmark in the Cognac region. Crafting its eaux-de-vie from grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard grown on chalky soils, the estate perpetuates an ancestral know-how. The double distillation in Charentais copper stills and the meticulous ageing are now overseen by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the eighth generation of master blenders in the family. Currently part of the LVMH group (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), Hennessy accounts for over 40% of the global cognac market. The brand brilliantly combines respect for its historical traditions, initiated as early as the creation of the V.S.O.P in 1817, with a resolutely modern and sustainable vision of its production.

The Very Special Henny-Rita Cocktail Gift Set: the art of the cocktail at home
The Very Special Henny-Rita Cocktail Gift Set is an edition designed to celebrate cocktail culture while showcasing the famous Hennessy Very Special cognac. This exclusive gift set includes a 70cl bottle of this iconic blend, accompanied by a bespoke shaker specially designed to make preparing drinks at home easier. The Henny-Rita cocktail recipe, cleverly printed on the back of the gift set, invites you to boldly reinvent the classic Margarita.

The cognac at the heart of this gift set is the result of a meticulous blend of around forty eaux-de-vie selected for their liveliness. Aged from 2 to 10 years, these eaux-de-vie mature exclusively in new French oak barrels, sourced from the Tronçais and Limousin forests. This maturation choice gives this Cognac its forthright character and its distinctive toasted notes.
