Hine Rare VSOP is a blend of eaux-de-vie coming exclusively from the Grande & Petite Champagne with about 60% of the blend being Grande Champagne. The youngest eaux-de-vie in Hine Rare VSOP is about 6 years old but some reach up to 12 years, the average being around 8 years. On the nose, Hine Rare VSOP reveals fruity & floral aromas with hints of honey & jasmin. On the palate, it shows great smoothness with the traditional finesse of all Cognac blended by Thomas Hine.
