Hennessy Extra
Hennessy Extra first appeared in 1923 (source: Cognac-Ton) as a 70-year old expression. In 1947 the Cognaçaise bottle was replaced by a tulip-shaped decanter, created by Gerald de Geoffre de Chabrignac.
This Hennessy Extra is actually a Hennessy Paradis, released between 1979 and 1981, a confusing period in which Hennessy seemingly randomly, used various names such as Paradis, Paradis Extra, Paradis Rare, Extra and Extra Rare for essentially the same quality Cognac.

Hennessy was founded in 1765 by Irishman Richard Hennessy, Captain in the French Army. It took Hennessy just a few years to dominate the market and actually they have never lost their leading position since. Hennessy was the first producer which came with a Extra Old (XO) and they also invented the star-ranking system. In 1971 Hennessy merched with Moët et Chandon forming Moët-Hennessy. After their 1987 merger with Louis Vuton the newly formed company LVMH became one of the largest conglomerates in luxury products. One year later, in 1988, Bernard Arnault purchased a share of LVMH and eventually became the new owner of Hennessy, still world's largest producer of Cognac.
