Hine Rare VSOP Cognac

Been drinking this cognac for years, and always have a full bottle in my stock. Full of zest and no need to mix. Just a pleasure to sip.

I mean I shouldn’t complain; it quite clearly says hints of violet and jasmine, but it really detracts and distracts me from the palate. Not for me.

Right now I’m enjoying drinking Carlos I imperial XO far more.

I HAVE BEEN DRINKING HINE COGNACS EXCLUSIVELY SINCE 1980 WHEN I COULD AFFORD THEIR EARLY LANDED LATE BOTTLED WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB. NOW I'M RETIRED I STICK WITH HINE BUT AT A LESS EXPENSIVE LEVEL. IT IS STILL THE BEST COGNAC.

Never fails to please.
No need to mix.
Always keep one in collection.

This may not be the most expensive, but it holds its own against other vsops.A joy to drink. My hat trick of vsops is Hine Rare,Frapin and Remy Martin 1738 Royal.All different in there own way,but tasty treats

Since my first bottle of Hine Rare,I have tried Courvoisier, Frapin, Hennessy, Maxime Trijol,amongst others. This VSOP is without doubt, the most user friendly cognac I have drank.No hit of alcohol on the first sip,plenty of flavour,enougth oil to hang in your throat momentarily, and NO watery finish.Not over priced.At last I have found my perfect VSOP.Plenty if more expensive VSOPs to choose,but who wants to pay for after burners.

Tried the Hine H,which for the money,is really a decent drink.Just purchased the Hine Rare from here,which I found being a little more oily,left the flavour on the finish lingering, and very pleasant it was.So ,to day,this is my first choice VSOP.

Nice but reminds me too much of a 'mild' unpeated scotch. For £41.30 I'll get the cheaper scotch!

This brandy is beautiful smooth with no bitter aftertaste excellent value quality brandy

I love it I think that it is the best Cognac
