Hennessy V.S.O.P has built its reputation over nearly two centuries. Crafted to suit all tasting occasions. it can be enjoyed on the rocks. as a long drink or in a more creative mix. Taste: On the palate. the natural balance of strength and smoothness creates a harmonious blend in which maturity combines with vigor. The structure is softened by a suggestion of a fresh grape character. and there is a long-lasting finish on the palate. Appearance: Warm mahogany. Aroma: On the nose. the first fragrances perceived are sweet spices such as vanilla. clove and cinnamon. Then. delicate toasted notes follow. arising from the maturation in oak barrels.
