Help identifying bottle.
Hi all, I've been trying to identify this bottle of Hennessy X.O. for a while now. I've found similar looking items online but the labels and box don't seem to be an exact match. Not sure if this is something like a reproduction/ fake but I figured I'd try here to see if anyone can find more info about this bottle. There's no other paperwork or receipt, no barcode/ paper seal. I found it in my grandpa's closet, it's been sitting for at least a decade but most likely longer.
Any info is appreciated, thanks.

Full & Sealed Bottle Value If you have a complete, unopened bottle in good condition, it has solid collector value as a historical vintage spirit:
Retail / Specialist Value: Specialty vintage liquor stores generally list full bottles from this era between $300 and $340 USD.
Auction Value: In specialized spirit auctions, hammer prices typically clear between $200 and $300 USD (£100 to £230), depending on the condition of the paper labels, tax stamps, and the liquid fill level.
