Cognac is golden with amber hues. The delicate aroma is expressed with notes of fruits, white jasmine, acacia and honey. Soft, rich on the palate, with a long-lasting aftertaste.

Recommended to drink neat, with ice or sparkling water.

The spirits are aged in Limousin oak barrels, thanks to which the cognac acquires a pleasant aroma and excellent flavor shades.

This luxurious cognac is a blend of over 25 pre-aged spirits. Spirits are aged for the first 8 months in new and then old Limousin oak barrels. The average age of the spirits in the mixture is 10 years. Cognac is stored in large oak barrels before bottling.

50% of the vineyards are in the Grande Champagne appellation and the rest in the Petit Champagne.

In 1791 young Thomas Hine left Dorset (England) in search of fortune in France. He chose Cognac region, perhaps because his family, who lived on the coast, was engaged in the sale of cognac. The young man was unlucky: during the French Revolution, Thomas was arrested for espionage and imprisoned in a castle in Jarnac, but he soon freed himself and married Francoise Elisabeth, whose father had his own cognac company in Jarnac. Very soon, the father-in-law's business turned into his own career and passion. Thomas quickly became a well-known and respected expert. Over the years, he took the art of cognac making to new heights, continuing to develop the business, which in 1822 was named Thomas Hine & Co. Thomas Hine left a more than thriving business. Today, Hine is in its sixth generation and is known and respected throughout the world for the exceptional quality of its cognacs.
