Cognac & Culture S2 E1 Hennessy XO vs Dusse XO Which is smoother??

[@da900smoove1]

So in the late 80s early 90s when I got into Cognac and learning about why Aged Spirits are Smoother the Average Age of VS Blend was about 6yrs minimum.....VSOP blend was 10yrs and XO was 15yrs Plus.... then the XXO's were blends 25yrs or more...But as Self Imposed Advertising Bans on TV were lifted demand increased and supply dwindling they lowered the Minimum Time in a Barrel to keep Prices Level..... I remember when XO's average price was about $100-$120 staying nearly Equal to whatever Dom Perion was selling for... 30yrs later and its exactly that now....But Note that Pre Pandemic XO's were about $120-$150 & didn't Cross $200 till just after Trump left office (He apparently imposed a Tarriff on select Item's from Germany, France and England because thier Leaders Always Laughed At His Dumbass During Conferences)

Dusse xo for me. I tried the Hennessy xo and loved it. I tried the dusse xo and said this is better than the Hennessy xo. This is my opinion but dusse xo for me!!!
