A delicious bottling from prestigious Cognac house, Hine.
This expression was created through a partnership between Bernard Hine and Nicholas Freeman (the late, great chairman of famous UK cigar importers, Hunters and Frankau). After combining their expertise and passion, the result was a superb Cognac that was a perfect match for a fine Cuban cigar.
This Cognac is a blend of over 20 different eaux-de-vie, from four different cru: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois. The spirit was aged for over 12 years in French oak casks, held in Hine’s Jarnac cellars.
The result is a rich, spicy Cognac that serves up notes of freshly cracked black pepper, sweet sultanas, tobacco, walnut, cedarwood, caramelised fruit, clear honey, almonds, old oak, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Powerful enough to stand up to even the strongest cigar, this Cognac can also be enjoyed by itself, without a smoke.
