Hine Triomphe Cognac (70cl, 40%)

Hine Triomphe is a cognac from Grande Champagne, France, composed solely of very old Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie selected from Hine's rarest reserves. Each spirit is matured for decades in French oak, some for more than half a century, before assembly into a blend of extraordinary purity and harmony. It was first created to honour Hine's post-war revival. The nose shows delicate layers of jasmine, apricot, candied citrus, warm oak and soft spice. The palate is silky and balanced, with honeyed pear, dried fig, vanilla, almond cream and polished oak. The finish is long and graceful, with floral notes, sweet spice and old-oak warmth.
