Cognac Hennessy VS Gold Limited Edition

About the estate:

The cognac distillery was founded by Richard Hennessy, an Irish officer in the army of Louis XV. Hennessy cognac became increasingly popular in the United States, a country that had been independent for only 18 years. The Prince of Wales, who would later become George IV of Great Britain, was a connoisseur of cognac. He asked Hennessy to create a “very superior old pale” eau de vie. Since then, the abbreviation VSOP – Very Superior Old Pale – has been a reference used throughout the industry. Additionally, the creation of the XO (eXtra Old) appellation was initiated by Maurice Hennessy. Initially reserved for his family and friends, the XO appellation has become an international reference for cognacs. The legendary “axe in hand” refers to its founder, Richard Hennessy, who became a French citizen after 12 years of service in the French army.
