Cognac Review: Hennessy XO - Extra Old

Cognac Review: Hennessy XO

Nose
Rum cake, raisins, cinnamon, spices and nutmeg.

Palate 
Red licorice, cinnamon, cloves, milk chocolate and hazelnuts.

Finish
Long, black pepper accented red fruits like strawberries, currants adorn a backbone of Swiss milk chocolate.

Conclusion
Highly recommended cognac.  I like this better than Remy Martin XO or Courvoisier XO.

PS. In this review I state the age of the eau de vie used in this cognac range from 10 to 70 years and the average age of eau de vie is 45 years.  I am not sure that claim is legit anymore.  Here is the website where I saw that claim:  https://blog.cognac-expert.com/hennessy-xo-review-henny-tasting/comment-page-1/#comment-174558

I have left a comment asking them to advise.

This is the downfall of my unscripted and unedited reviews.

All the best,


Jason
