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

Tasting review:
Eye: Copper gold
Nose: Fruity - candied fruits, apricots, figs, apples, caramel, leather, oily nuts, oak tones
Palate: Sweetish on entry, drying - many ripe fruit notes, raisin, ice wine, vanilla, and oak pepper. A lingering, oaky and vanilla finish.
Tasting reveiw by Martell:
Nose : Seduces with fragrances of white flowers. A hint of honey, slight aromas of almond paste and of frangipane.
Palate : The attack is round and fluffy, one crunches quince or plum, before a final delight of pastry. Delights with a long satisfying finish.
Tasting review by Jean Fillioux:
Eye: Old gold color
Nose: Sweet and spicy, with notes of almond and marzipan
