This fine vintage will continue to develop in the bottle for many generations to come. It is the epitomy of fine early landed cognac being both powerful yet smooth and haunting on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concept behind early Landed Cognacs: At the beginning of the 19th century, a few cognac houses began to ship cognac, soon after it had been put into cask, to British connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaturing in English cellars â€?humid and cold â€?these developed in a way quite different from their Jarnac cousins and were highly prized. One of these companies was Thomas HINE, and his successors continue the practice to this day. Each vintage year, a small parcel of casks is sent to Bristol, England, where they age for at least twenty years. These are known as Early Landed Cognacs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1791 young Thomas Hine left his home in Dorset, England to seek his fortune in France. He chose the Cognac region, perhaps because his family, living on the coast, had engaged in the common practice of smuggling cognac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was the time of the Revolution in France, and Thomas was arrested as a spy and imprisoned in the ancient Châ€?teau of Jarnac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was soon freed again and married Franƒ?­oise Elisabeth, whose father owned a cognac company in Jarnac. He had married into a business that was to become his career and his obsession. He became a noted connoisseur, respected for his integrity and famous for the demands he made on his suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the years, he raised the art of making cognac to new heights, continuing to develop the business, to which, in 1817, he gave its present name: Thomas Hine and C??.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen he died, in 1822, he left more than a prosperous business. His legacy was a name already known and appreciated around the world for the exceptional quality of its cognacs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drink Now\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Digestif\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Medium Bodied\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dark Golden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Spirit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Cognac, France\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Early Landed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contains Sulphites\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42987735122005,"sku":"cs_48953","price":29.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/le4foum4t4kx_0430cb54-cad4-4fe6-ae5c-cf56bdc2bd26.jpg?v=1789279471","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/hineearlylandedcognacvintage1981-qtg2dv","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
