Looking for an interesting gift to give the dad in your life? Here’s one that I think is pretty fascinating: Hennessy: A Toast to the World’s Preeminent Spirit
This is more than a coffee table book! It’s a unique business history and it’s also about a great spirit and brand that has been around for many, many years. It’s worth having if the recipient loves spirits and wines. It’s also great for someone who loves to cook, as well as anyone who loves to have frequent parties!
The latest coffee table book from Rizzoli: Hennessy: A Toast to the World’s Preeminent Spirit written by the late New York icon, Glenn O’Brien who recently passed in April. The book – available on Amazon and wherever fine books are sold – is the perfect gift for the Dad who enjoys a good Cognac and wants to learn more about one of the world’s most vibrant spirits brands.
Few know the full story of Hennessy Cognac’s history, craftsmanship and family legacy – or how the brand has become so embedded in today’s lexicon of pop culture.
Vivid illustrations by Jean-Philippe Delhomme, coupled with O’Brien’s humor, explore the brand’s 250+ year legacy, featuring classic cocktail recipes, never-before-seen imagery from Hennessy’s archives and interviews with cultural luminaries.
