After winning the Hennessey VS Re fashioned competition recently, Grant 'World Class' Sceney got to visit Cognac in France where he sent this 'postcard.' Here I am in the underground ageing cellar at Hennessy with their barrels. I was with other bartenders from around the world and we were put into teams for a Hennessy mixing session competition; our team won the cocktail of the contest! It's the 250th anniversary cocktail called 'August's Angel' - a riff on an Aviation as we competed in a airplane hangar and were inspired by the 'angels share.' (During the ageing process about three percent of Cognac evaporates; which they call the angels share.)
