5I tried the bottle twice before settling on a rating. Little caramel showed up early, while soft oak carried through the finish. Easy recommendation for someone who enjoys this style.

4Hennessy Vs was better when sipped slowly. The rounded texture was enjoyable and gentle spice gave it enough character, although it felt sharper than expected. A solid four rather than a five.

3Hennessy Vs was easy to test in a basic mixed drink. It had a decent little caramel; after that, it felt sharper than expected. Perfectly drinkable, just not something I'd seek out.
