Hennessy Privilege Review:
Thick, red and viscous in appearance. Initial aroma is of candied orange, a hint of vanilla, and cinnamon/nutmeg. Below that are candied lemon and marzipan. – Aroma of fresh ginger. Zingy and fresh. Perhaps the best Hennessy single-vintage Privilege I’ve tried. Very interesting. – Flavor. Seems to be a bit lighter, but there are definite components of orange and ginger. A balance of spice and sweet is also present. Taste is outstanding for this Cognac. – Finish. And the finish is superb.
– Flavor is out-of-this-world. Beautiful fruity aroma with some kick of spice, as mentioned by others. It’s got a real rose flavor to it. Not too sweet, but the rose does come through. Still, it’s very fresh with either rich oak or the secondary flavor being caramel and almond. There’s also a lot of fresh ginger – not too much that it’s pungent or disagreeable, but just enough to give it that additional pop.
The finish is simply outstanding; the aromas fade away to make way for one of the best Cognacs available.
Hennessy Privilege Review – Recently tasted Hennessy Privilege – Not VTSP. However, slightly different in taste & aroma. Full vegetal taste with strong hints of plum and apple. Spice is present, but not overpowering. Finish is natural. Similar to the VSOP cognacs, but a richer, bolder version. Very difficult to find. Just a few bottles over here in HK. Not sure if it is available in the USA.
Hennessy Privilege review – Fruity, warm, spicy, vanilla. I was surprised by the somewhat bitter finish and caramel that continues throughout. Nice to the tongue.
Hennessy VSOP Privilege experience – Finally tried Hennessy Privilege VSOP Cognac. I’m not an expert but even I can tell that it’s a top Cognac. It doesn’t bite, there’s a nice fruity aroma or aftertaste. It’s less sweet but it’s more smooth and you can enjoy it very long.
