On Wednesday evening, July 8th, the Hennessy Time Barrel arrived to LS Bistro (La Société) on Bloor Street as part of the cognac brand’s 250th anniversary.
Only until July 14th, 2015 you can send your message to the future 50 years from now.
Invited guests arrived to a welcome reception with Hennessy cocktails and opportunities to leave messages that will be locked and sealed, only to be revealed 50 years from now.
As part of the Toronto celebrations that evening, Hennessy hosted a dinner by La Société’s Chef Romain Avril paired with cognac selections including Hennessy VSOP, Hennessy XO and a Hennessy Limited Edition 250 “Collector” Blend.
The Hennessy Time Barrel is a well-travelled globetrotter, having just arrived from Great Britain (by way of France, China, Taiwan, Germany, Russia). Next stops after Toronto are Johannesburg, South Africa in August and Lagos, Nigeria in October.
