    I enjoy it - it’s smoother and sweeter and and with a different fruitier flavor than whiskey while packing the same punch.

    I own a bottle and sometimes sip on it or include it as an ingredient in a mixed drink or cooked meal.

    I’d recommend trying it at least once if you already enjoy liquor

        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

            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
