Hennessy V.S.O.P Review
From one of the world's best-known Cognac brands, this expression serves the archetypal profile of V.S.O.P. Intense toasted oak notes mingle with caramel, rich golden raisins, and dried apricots. Licorice and vanilla pop out on the finish to provide a sweet send-off.
Hennessy V.S.O.P Pros And Cons
