Description
With a name that references the year in which the house of Hardy was born, the Hardy Legend 1863 Cognac is a vintage delight that offers exceptional value for money for such a quality. A deep color, this is a truly versatile cognac that can be enjoyed in many ways: as a digestif after a good meal, or for the adventurous, drop in a block of ice or a few drops of water to enjoy the subtle differences in both aromas and flavor this brings.
The bottle itself is striking, and of course features the emblem of the house - the iconic French cockeral. A great cognac to include in any drinks cabinet, and one that will also be appreciated as a gift for anyone who loves great cognac.

Value for money:
Great nose, great price.. finish is a bit "direct"
This is a Napoleon cognac i understand, so it's older than a VSOP at a price of a VSOP. Disclaimer: i work in a bar and taste a lot of brown spirits between $50 and $100. For sure this one is better than others. I love the decanter, love the brand. Nevertheless that finish is a bit abrupt and could be smoother.. on the other hand it's not the most expensive cognac out there

Other Napoléon Cognac bottles
Cognac review by produer: "Cognac Napoléon takes us away in a spicy vanilla and cinnamon flavoured world. It is a very round, well balanced and mellow Cognac."
Tasting review:
Eye: Deep mahogany
Nose: Subtle fragrance of wild violets and jasmine
Palate : Gently evolves, showcasing all that is great about the Borderies terroir. Delightfully lingering finish.
An elegant cognac with copper highlights. A good bouquet and a rough but round flavour. Some clear oak notes and sweet fruits.
