"Among the major names outside the "Big Four," Hardy is a well-established and respected Cognac house, and one that isn't afraid to move with the times. Farming practices remain less of a talking point in this category than they do with wine, but Hardy is ahead of the mainstream curve, offering this fully organic V.S.O.P. It's fruit-forward and complex, while also serving luscious notes of vanilla and poached peaches. Price-wise, it's about 25 percent more expensive than the brand's standard V.S.O.P. but we'd happily pay that premium for what is a noticeable jump in quality."
