Hennessy V.S.O.P. Helios


Sitting around one evening at the cigar store, one of my friends came in with a gold looking bottle, I shrugged it off as the Ace of Spades bottle which was made worldwide popular by rap mogul Jay-Z and every up and coming rapper as a prop for their video. After further conversation and tasting I found out that this particular Hennessy is not available in the states, and actually smoother than it's counterpart Hennessy White. Let me introduce to you Hennessy V.S.O.P. Helios the newest from the Privilege Collection, this bottle comes lacquered, covered with silver, which is painted in pink gold color, which gives it extra shine and elegance.

The taste has a very rich flavor of vanilla and cinnamon and subtle wood note, which appears due to the long and balanced maturation of brandy in oak barrels. Cognac Hennessy VSOP Helios is offered in 750ml, 1.5 and 3 liters as well as in miniature gift bottles of 50ml. So the next time your out the country traveling, look for this gem.
