With Hennessy Paradis on new heights
A rare dinner at higher grounds to savor the virtues of the Hennessy Paradis cognac
Somewhere on high altitudes, where the air is so fresh it’s crispy and where the smell of the snow lingers, lays Lijiang, a famous and historical town that boasts spectacular natural scenery. Handpicked by Hennessy for reasons such as, an exceptional event was held here in honor of its fine Paradis cognac. Breath-taking snow-capped mountains, unspoiled natural landscapes, distinct ethnic cultures, and Yunnan cuisine – a name that translates to “south of the clouds,” – captivated the invitees as they enjoyed traditional meals such as sumptuous hotpots and wild vegetables. Yunnanese cuisine, with its blend of light southeast Asian flavors and the headier flavors of the Tibetan plateau, is renowned in this region. The evening enchanted with an artistic performance as majestic as the surroundings in this province in Southwest China. A historical location that matched the profound history of the Hennessy Paradis cognac.

HENNESSY PARADIS
Hennessy Paradis is defined by its graceful character and immediately delights with its rich copper colour. It is a perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, and combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture. Naturally, it has a flavourful and deep, persistent finish.
Hennessy Paradis was created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979 as a tribute to symphonic music. He compared the blend to ‘a symphonic orchestra’, as “classical music that takes you away and connects with your emotions.” The number of instruments in an orchestra is not necessarily a measure of its success, but rather the purity of sound it creates and the virtuosity of the conductor. The same is true for Hennessy Paradis, a union of exceptional eaux-de-vie selected for their individual qualities to work together to create a harmonious and graceful cognac.
