LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The elegant choice. If you find other cognacs too heavy or woody, Hine is a revelation. It is pure finesse, proving that brandy can be as delicate as a fine perfume.

The Library Note

Thomas Hine, an Englishman from Dorset, arrived in France in 1791 during the Revolution. He married into a cognac family and transformed the house. Hine specializes in Petite and Grande Champagne cognacs, aging its spirits in finer grain wood and often shipping casks to the UK for 'early landed' aging, a unique tradition.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Perfumed and delicate. Aromas of jasmine, acacia, and fresh apricot.

THE PALATE

Silky and fine. Notes of melon, roasted nectarine, and a whisper of vanilla oak.

THE FINISH

Clean, dry, and floral.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Frozen. Serve the bottle straight from the freezer as a refreshing aperitif, or neat with a drop of cold water.

Composition

Distilled Grapes

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

A blend of 25 eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne grapes (Fine Champagne), aged between 6 and 12 years.
