The wood used in the HINE Cognac house is mostly Tronçais oak (Limousin oak is most common) which is slower to grow which provides a tighter and finer grain. This equates to fewer tannins in the final product.

Tasting Notes

"Though there are some nutty and spicy aromas on the nose, those notes aren't very intense. Walnuts and apple pie come to mind, but the fruit aspect is low to moderate and more in the dried cherry family. This cognac is more spice driven than anything and is on the dry side. The finish shows a touch of dark chocolate and leather."
