The original premium cognac was bottled by Maurice Hennessy for the first time in 1870 for family and friends. Darker and more complex than VSOP, with attractive leather and tobacco flavors, and a hint of spice, it is a great cigar cognac. 100 A mixture of water of life, its deep amber color is a sign of its strength. It is both rich and powerful, constantly showing a layered flavor, and has a unique persistence in taste.
