黑帝斯 Hadesis VSOP - 70cl/40%

Hadesis Cognac, rooted in a century-old French recipe, was founded in 2024 by third-generation heir François Tanner in the Cognac region of France. Inspired by his ancestors' unfulfilled dreams, the brand traces back to grandfather Augustin (born 1859), a sailor who crafted early brandy in Lagord village, and father Pierre, who aimed to democratize high-quality cognac but faced failures amid wars and business challenges. François partnered with Hong Kong friends to innovate, reducing spiciness and infusing Asian flavors, symbolizing resilience like the underworld god Hades battling demons. Production emphasizes traditional double distillation, oak barrel aging (at least 4 years for VSOP), and masterful blending for balanced profiles.

The Hadesis VSOP is a refined French cognac, aged at least 4 years, offering a harmonious blend of fruity and oaky notes.

Nosing: Initial caramel sweet aroma of candied raisins, entwined with honey, orange blossom, and fruity base of apricot and white peach.

Palate: Subtle spiciness mid-palate like a light mist, contrasting fruity sweetness, enveloped in smooth honey texture; velvety sip with balanced elegance.

Finish: Long, pure aftertaste of sun-warmed honey lingering, evoking fruit and floral sweetness for a radiant, memorable savor.
