Hennessy VSOP vs Costco (Kirkland) XO Cognac - Blind taste test

If you are a Hennessy drinker you know that it's getting harder to find. So I did a blind taste test to see if I can tell the difference between the Hennessy VSOP and the cheaper Costco XO Cognac. The result might surprise you because I'm a seasoned (26 years) Hennessy drinker. Stay FADED ya'll.

    For a seasoned Hennessy drinker like you, I bet you can immediately spot the difference between Kirkland XO Cognac and the Hennessy XO. Cognac has always been my cup of "tea", and my all-time favorite is Hennessy XO. Thank you for a fun-to-watch video!

    The Kirkland XO is sweeter so it gives you a pretty bad hangover.

    You know what is funny? If you drink enough of the Kirkland XO you'll clearly know that it's much sweeter than the Henny. But it's also much smoother than the Henny VSOP.

    I haven't drank enough in one sitting to find out. However, I would think the hangover would be worst because it's a little sweeter than the Henny VSOP.
