Distillery Information

Hine is a well-known manufacturer of Cognac that has been producing the brandy for over 250 years. The Hine House is located bon the banks of the Charente River in Jarnac, France.Hine Aged 8 Years Cognac uniquely presents itself as an 8 year old Cognac, although not a vintage - it has spent 8 long years aging in French oak barrels down in the house of Hine's cellars in both Jarnac and Britain.
This VSOP is without doubt, the most user friendly cognac I have drank.No hit of alcohol on the first sip,plenty of flavour,enougth oil to hang in your throat momentarily, and NO watery finish. Not over priced.At last I have found my perfect VSOP.
The process of making Cognac starts in the vineyard, where the crisp, acidic wines, produced most often from St. Emilion grapes, are distilled twice in pot stills. The first distillation brings the brandy to about 28 percent alcohol, while the second round yields a spirit of about 70 percent alcohol.
Back in 1550, the Hine family lived in Beaminster, Dorset, on the south coast of England. The family's great cognac journey was to begin in the 18th century: Thomas Hine, a linen merchant, decided to send his son Thomas (one of 11 children) to France to learn French and the art of making cognac.
An XO cognac must be aged for a minimum of 10 years, in comparison a VSOP must age for a minimum of four years. It comes down to personal preference which is better but an XO is usually considered as superior.
