The Five Most Expensive Hennessy Bottles Money Can Buy

Hennessy

Hennessy is among the oldest cognacs that have existed. It was established in 1765 by an Irish ex-military man called Richard Hennessy, who had a good taste for Cognac. This particular Cognac was processed using grapes harvested in the rich grape regions of France. The brand cognac had gone through a double distillation process inside a copper pot, followed by a well-calculated aging process in Limousin oak and casks of Troncais until it developed an Alcohol by Volume (ABV) of forty percent. Hennessy is 100% cognac, and it is expensive because of the distillation process used. It has also gone through high-quality ingredients that are aged carefully to give this brand an extraordinary taste. This article is a compilation list of five of the most expensive Hennessy Bottles.

5. Hennessy Timeless ($16,318.68)

You can recognize the Hennessy Timeless with the unique baccarat crystal decanter bottle that holds the liquid. Hennessy has limited this 70 cl bottle to only 2,000 of them. The Cognac had gone through a unique distillation process and aged for 100 years or more inside oak barrels, ensuring that it has reduced the liquid tanning content. According to Rarest.org, the final product is a golden amber drink that looks shining in the light. Hennessy Timeless has a fantastic aroma with a delicious flavor that comes from the fruit flavors and overtones of flora the manufacturer has used. To enjoy this sensational Cognac that began to be rolled in the market in the 1990s, you will have to part with $16,318 or 12,000 pounds.

The flashy bottle that houses Hennessy Ellipse Cognac is an improvised bottle that was used for the Hennessy Timeless cognac. The changes done to that bottle included encasing it with a sequel to give it a futuristic fancy crystal decanter appearance.
