COGNAC HENNESSY VINTAGE 1830
The Hennessy cognac distillery was founded by Irishman Richard Hennessy in 1765. During the 1970s, Kilian Hennessy, a fifth generation direct descendant of Hennessy, became the CEO of Hennessy, succeeding his first cousin Maurice-Richard. Kilian Hennessy spearheaded the company’s 1971 merger with Moët et Chandon, which created Moët Hennessy.
This unique bottle has been bottled in the early 1940’s to raise capital. It came from a collector who bought it about the year 1998 from a descendant of a Swiss pharmacist and wine & spirit merchant along with several other old vintage cognacs. Hennessy Cognac has been asked concerning this bottle and answered that, although the bottle itself could not be evaluated, a time frame for the production of this type of bottle could be set.
