Paradis Imperial encloses several hundred rare eaux-de-vie from 30 to 130 years, with a high proportion of 19th century eaux-de-vie. Extremely elegant. The delicacy of its flavoursome notes gently arouses the palate, drawing its subtlety from the attentive ageing of the blended eaux-de-vie.

Hennessy

Hennessy was founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irishman who settled in the town of Cognac in south-west France, and the house still has its home on the banks of the Charente. Its cognacs start with Ugni Blanc grapes from the region's top crus, which are made into wine, distilled into eaux-de-vie and aged in French oak.

The blending has been in the hands of the Fillioux family for generations. Start with Hennessy VS, a lively favourite for mixing, then step up to the rounder VSOP or the rich, complex XO. Try VS with ginger ale over plenty of ice, and save the XO for sipping slowly after dinner.
