    Hennessy is to cognac what Smirnoff is to vodka, there are far, far better cognacs.

    Look for the different grades - XO is the best one, apart from XXO but I’ve only seen that once

    Special mention for Armagnac, you get some superb brands of that, all better than Hennessey

      I’m sure there are, but who wants to twice as much for their first taste?

        Someone who doesn’t want to go “Eug, that’s rough”, then never try any other cognacs because you didn’t like it the first time
