Hine Cognac 1983 Early Landed Vintage

Notes - 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. Maturing in English cellars - humid and cold - 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 are aged - these are known as Early Landed Cognacs. Low temperatures, which vary very little (8°C to 12°C), high levels of humidity (rarely below 95%), give light floral and fruity aromas with delicate hints of wood, very close to the original cognac notes. In this year - April 12th 1983 - British film Gandhi wins 8 Oscars.
