Asset or liability?.....The answer after 5 weeks ownership
Quite exquisite actually, although is a tad rough around the edges for my taste. Having drank 25% of my Hennessey 8 over the last 5 weeks, I can't shake the feeling of a slight "im over it" moment.Like the optimism, media, and anticipation of the final product before my eyes got the best of me. At the moment of receiving my very own bottle, I'll be honest, I was highly impressed. Professionalism, Handle, LOVE, skill, ambition, and just quite simply the best overall experience i have had adding a new piece to my collection in 11years. So all in all:
