Additive Free Options

Very new to Cognac. I have had Remy 1842 and Ferrand 1840. Both used mostly for mixing with the occasional sipping. I am interested in having a nice bottle on hand so I did some research. I started to read about additives in cognac and it sounds like, as with tequila, lots of addictive are used to appeal to an American palate. Is the same deal with cognac or is it not as extreme?

Are there additive free options that are widely available in the US? Looking for $100 to $200 range.

Does this Henny VS bottle look alright?

Hey everyone! I’m kinda new to cognacs and strong alcohol in general, was always curious to try Hennessy and after a friend’s recommendation decided on it. I work in a liquor store and wanted to buy one of our bottles, however something seems odd to me about it. It’s not unheard of to fake a Henny VS where I live, so please tell me if I’m just being paranoid?
