- Description
- Hardy's 3 Stars Cognac, bottled in the 1980s, represents the older classification standard now equivalent to VS expression. At 40% ABV and bottled decades ago, this spirit carries the characteristics of younger, more fruit-forward Cognac rather than the aged complexity of higher designations. A historical snapshot of Hardy's house style during the 1980s.
