It was the Great Comet, which was visible to the naked eye for 9 months. Na zdorovye!

I have an un-opened bottle of hennessy cognac passed down to me. I have known it be in the family since i was very young. On the front of the label it just states hennessy v.s.o.p thats all there is. There is no alcohol content on it which leaves me to belive it is quite old. I hope you can help me identify what era I would be looking at to date this. Thank you Robert .

Although I worked for Remy for a few years, I never had the chance to taste anything like this. And of course they never really talked about the pre- and post-phylloxera differences. As I write this, I am looking at my only really old bottle: Ferreira 1815. Empty apart from a few drops to allow people to say they have smelt an 1815 port (albeit past its best now!). The profile is a lot more like the Bordeaux bottle but with a few bumps and imperfections. I was told it is the original bottle. As you say, it is great to handle such an old bottle. I tell my daughters it comes from the same year as Waterloo, or the year first class cricket started. Yes, even older than Daddy. Interesting.
