Brand Story

Originating from a century-old French cognac recipe, HADESIS was established in 2024 by the third-generation heir François Tanner, who is passionate and proud about his ancestral cognac, aiming to create a cognac legend with a brand new perspective.

The birth of HADESIS carries a family story that transcends time and space. François inherited his ancestors’ unfinished ideals and was determined to grow an unknown century-old effort into something great, passing down the undying resolve from generation to generation.

Pierre survived the war and aspired to set up a distillery in the Cognac region, striving to make high-quality cognac accessible to the common people. Despite failures, he worked tirelessly.

François witnessed firsthand the diligence, perseverance and fortitude of his ancestors. He felt a mission to fulfill the family dream and teamed up with partners to create a new cognac with an Asian flavor.

Hence, HADESIS came into being in 2024, symbolizing the armor-clad and bident-wielding invincible god of the underworld’s battle against the demons. Together, they joined hands to create a cognac legend with no regrets.

Bottle Story

The Demon-Subduing Vessel of Heaven and Earth

In the dawn of the cosmos, chaos reigned. Hades, the underworld king, emerged wielding his trident, and Ares, the war god, descended with fury in his heart. Their clash ignited a cataclysmic battle.

Ares lunged with warfire, yet Hades remained unshaken. In the final strike, Hades pierced Ares’ helm but chose to subdue rather than destroy, transforming chaos into a pure amber-hued “Eau de Vie”.

The bottle itself symbolizes the divine struggle...

On the palate, it balances Ares’ fiery charge with Hades’ steady hand, resolving into a harmonious finish—robust yet serene. Each engraving reflects the taming of chaos and the union of heaven and earth.

Holding this vessel is holding the mark of divine power, a story of turning foes into allies and chaos into art.

Craftsmanship

Climatic Conditions

HADESIS brandy comes from the Cognac region of France, where limestone and clay soil produce unique grapes. The distillation process transforms them into a rich and aromatic brandy.

Distillation

The “double distillation” in ancient copper stills removes impurities and refines the essence, producing aromas and flavors that captivate the senses.

Vintage Cognac

Aging 2–50 years, HADESIS develops unique characteristics: X.O over 10 years is mature, V.S.O.P over 4 years is balanced, and rare vintages over 50 years carry wisdom and depth of time.

Blending

Master distillers blend cognacs of different ages and profiles, creating HADESIS with unique tastes, fruity aromas, mature complexity, and exquisite richness.
