The Cognac inside is the classic Hennessy V.S.O.P (Very Superior Old Pale) blend, originally commissioned in 1817 for the future King George IV of England. It is a harmonious composition of over 60 different eaux-de-vie, matured in French oak barrels to achieve a perfect balance of strength and smoothness.

Aroma: Fragrant and expressive, featuring notes of candied fruit, warm vanilla, and gentle toasted oak, followed by hints of dried apricot, honeyed spice, and clove.
Palate: Smooth and structured with a silky texture. Layers of creamy vanilla, toasted almond, and cinnamon unfold alongside warm undertones of dried fruit, nutmeg, and a fresh burst of grapes.
Finish: Long, refined, and elegantly spiced, leaving lingering notes of oak and sweet toffee.
