Hine Cognac Gift Pack 3 x 20cl / includes Family Reserve
In 1791 and at the age of 16, an Englishman from Dorset named Thomas Hine travelled to France to pursue his passion for cognac. His sense of historical timing however was disastrous, and after trying to flee the French Revolution he was imprisoned at the Château de Jarnac where he remained sequestered for several months. Fortunes turned in his favour however, and he later married Françoise-Elisabeth, the daughter of his hosts, subsequently taking over the running of the cognac production at the Château. With his product slowly gaining a positive reputation, he then renamed the brand after himself in 1817. Today Château de Jarnac remains the headquarters Hine, and it is one of the oldest buildings in the commune. In 1962 royalty came calling, with Queen Elizabeth II approving a royal warrant for Hine to supply the British royal household. To this day they are the only cognac house entrusted with such an honour.
