Tasting Profile:
Nose: Deep layers of dried apricot, honeyed oak, cigar box, and floral elegance, like stepping into a sunlit room filled with fruit, wood polish, and soft perfume.

“Smooth, layered, and incredibly refined. Every sip feels special.”

Interesting Fact:
Hine is one of the few cognac houses granted a Royal Warrant by the British monarchy, a distinction awarded for over 60 years of consistent excellence.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat in a tulip glass to appreciate the full aromatic spectrum. Let it rest for a few minutes to open up the deeper fruit and oak layers. Avoid ice; the complexity deserves warmth and patience.
