A VSOP from Hine. H is a blend of around over a dozen Grande and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie with the youngest in the blend being aged for at least 4 years.
Floral, creamy. Vanilla, apple blossom.
Fruit, supple and rounded, floral.
Good length, dark fruity grip.
I was really, really surprised by this. I have always been a cult Hennessy and A'Dor drinker, but this has really been an education. I never thought a tipple so much cheaper than Hennessy could have such depth of flavour. OK, it's not exactly Paradis, but in terms of a day to day cognac, this is great!
