About the Producer:

A British gentleman, Anthony Hardy (also known as Antione Hardy), founded Hardy cognac in 1863. Five generations later, the house of Hardy is still recognized for its premium quality cognacs and a smooth, lightly-oaked taste.

In 1869, Hardy's Cognac Fine Champagne was awarded the Diploma of Excellence at the Amsterdam exhibition, richly-deserved recognition of his commitment and passion for the ‘nectar of the gods’.

By 1880, Anthony Hardy was already exporting his creations far and wide. In 1891 the St. Petersburg Exhibition awarded the prestigious gold medal to Hardy’s ‘Cognac de l’Alliance’, created as a tribute to the longstanding alliance between France and Russia. Maison Hardy’s distinctive identity was beginning to take shape and win plaudits.

Awards/Reviews:

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"This Cognac offers rich aromas and flavors, yet still remains light and easygoing. Concentrated tones of milky caramel and hazelnut on nose and palate are offset by lemon peel acidity and an espresso tinge, yielding a versatile spirit to sip or mix."

91 Points - VinePair
"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."
