Today, let's spill the beans on spotting fake Hennessy bottles – because no one wants to end up with a faux bottle in hand. It's a bit of a detective game, but trust us, you've got this.

First stop: the label. Genuine Hennessy labels sport a font called "NR2653 Hennessy." Think of it as the VIP pass of fonts, made just for Hennessy. And they print it on glossy paper. Look for labels showing off either VSOP or XO, depending on your Hennessy flavor of choice.

Now, onto the bottle check. Legit Hennessy bottles are made of thick and sturdy glass. Sealed up with a cork stopper wearing a metal cap that's got the Hennessy logo on it.

For those surprise Hennessy moments where you can't peek at the bottle (let‘s be honest sometimes shots are just passed to you), here's a tip: fake Hennessy tends to taste a bit funky. The real deal? Smooth sailing with hints of oak and fruit. If it's too sweet or too feisty, it's probably a dupe.

Last but not least, the barcode! Hennessy labels show off a special barcode just for them. If it's not looking like the usual Hennessy barcode, you might be dealing with a fake. Keep your eyes peeled, and enjoy your genuine Hennessy vibes responsibly. Cheers to the real deal! 🥂
