THE SHARED ATTRIBUTES OF HINE COGNACS? DELICACY, VIBRANCE AND FINESSE.
Since 1962, the House of Hine has been awarded a Royal Warrant by Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, and remains the only official supplier of cognac to the British monarchy.
Hine Antique XO was originally created in 1920 by Georges Hine (grandfather of Bernard Hine, today’s Honorary Chairman). Georges’s personal nickname for the casks of mature vintage Cognacs in the ancient cellars beneath their Jarnac offices was “antiques”, and they still bear the same name to this day.
Hine Cognac Antique XO Premier Cru has since become HINE’s flagship and the elegant bottle is only the beginning. Hine really is an essential for every Cognac lover out there.
