Hennessy
Pick the bottle by how you drink it. VS (Very Special) is aged at least two years and is the one for mixing: Hennessy and ginger ale, a Sidecar or a Cognac Old Fashioned. Privilege VSOP is aged at least four years and adds more spice, honey and oak, so it works neat, on ice or stirred. XO, a grade Hennessy created in 1870, is aged at least ten years and is made for slow sipping, and Paradis is a rarer, older blend for special occasions.
