In 1774, Richard Hennessy set up a small warehouseon the right bank of the River Charente to house his rarest eaux de vie, now known as the founder’s warehouse. Since then, eight generations of the Hennessy family have built up what is now the finest collection of old eaux de vie in the world. It is from these that Hennessy has been able to create Paradis Extra.
Paradis Extra is the fruit of successive marriages between hundreds of different eaux de vie, nurtured to maturity by successive generations of the same family of cellar masters
