ChocolateServed this brandy over ice and let it settle for a minute. The rounded texture was enjoyable and grape-like fruit gave it enough character, although it felt sharper than expected. Good enough to revisit, especially with the right serve.
spiced - oaky - smoothI tried this one after dinner. I liked the warming finish; the soft oak made it feel complete rather than heavy. Easy recommendation for someone who enjoys this style.
dry - fruity - oakyOpened Hennessy James alongside roasted nuts. I could appreciate the rounded texture, though the aroma promised more than the taste. Some good points, though the balance didn't fully work for me.
