Description

The original 'extra-old' cognac, initially bottled in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for exclusive distribution among family and close friends. Distinguished by its darker hue and significantly greater complexity in comparison to the VSOP, it offers alluring notes of leather and tobacco, complemented by a hint of spice—making it a splendid choice for pairing with cigars.

Tasting Note by Hennessy:
Nose: The aromatic profile unfolds with a lavish and fruit-forward palate, showcasing the presence of luscious prunes, Corinth raisins, and delectable sticky toffee pudding.
Palate: On the palate, the experience deepens with the indulgence of dark chocolate and the luxurious essence of over-ripe plums. A subtle character of sultanas, accompanied by the smoothness of cocoa butter and a hint of spice, adds layers of complexity and richness.
Finish: The finish is characterized by a spirited, vanilla-led finale, accompanied by an array of tantalizing dark fruits. The combination of spices and the lingering presence of these fruits creates a memorable and satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience.
