Hennessy Paradis Impérial – First Release 2011 – 70cl – With Original Case
[Expert's remark: the lot code is for 2010, as Hennessy still fills their bottles well ahead in advance their official release. The bottle is from one of the earliest release - ES]

Exceptional bottle of Hennessy Paradis Impérial, first release from 2011, offered with its original presentation case.

Paradis Impérial represents the ultimate refinement within the Hennessy universe, widely regarded as an evolution beyond Paradis itself and often described as the pinnacle of the House’s pursuit of elegance and precision.

This expression is crafted from extremely rare and meticulously selected eaux-de-vie from Hennessy’s historic reserves, some of which date back approximately 100 to 120 years, contributing to remarkable depth, finesse and balance.

The 2011 edition marks the inaugural release of this iconic expression and remains particularly sought after by collectors.

Bottle condition:
• Fill level: High shoulder / original
• Capsule intact
• Original metal security wire securing the stopper present
• Unlike later editions fitted with a protective plastic sleeve, this early version features the original metal wire system, a detail appreciated by collectors
• Label in excellent condition
• Properly stored

Presentation case:
The original presentation case is included for completeness.

Please note that the case shows visible signs of age and wear, particularly to the gold-coloured interior lining, which presents marks consistent with time and ageing. In addition, the opening hinge presents a defect and does not function perfectly.

For this reason, the case should be considered as an accessory included for completeness rather than a fully functional presentation box. These aspects are purely related to the case and do not affect the bottle itself.

• Producer: Hennessy

A highly collectible first-release Paradis Impérial, identifiable by its original metal wire stopper system and increasingly difficult to find in this configuration.
