The lizard’s hemipenis is visible at times, an organ that has been described as “aberrant” in shape and gives the animal special powers. Enjoy the coffee undertones of this bold cocktail known for it’s virility benefits and Colombian roots.

PRINCE EUGENI RUSPOLI
Named for its discoverer, an Italian aristocrat named Prince Eugenio Ruspoli, this is a species with a colorful name, colorful plumage, and a colorful history. An endemic to Ethiopia, the species was an enigma for some 50 years. Prince Ruspoli was trampled to death by an elephant in the early 1890s, but amid his belongings was a specimen of this unknown and spectacular-looking bird. The only problem was that there was no information about where it was collected, and so nobody knew where he found it and its range was unknown for decades. Finally in the 1940s the species’s tiny range was discovered near the town of Negelle.

THE HENESSY PARADIS
EXPERIENCE
It is a perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, and combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture. Naturally, it has a flavourful and deep, persistent finish. Hennessy Paradis was created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979 as a tribute to symphonic music. He compared the blend to ‘a symphonic orchestra’, as “classical music that takes you away and connects with your emotions.”.
