Description:
A Piece of Liquid History from the 1962 Royal Warrant Year.
Southwest Spirits is proud to offer this exceptional 1962 Hine Grande Champagne Cognac. This bottling represents the pinnacle of the "English Style" of Cognac, matured in the United Kingdom under the "Early Landed" tradition.
Distilled in 1962 in the heart of the Grande Champagne region, this spirit was shipped to British shores early in its life (known as early landed). The high humidity and stable, cool temperatures of British bonded warehouses allow the alcohol to evaporate more slowly than the water, resulting in a Cognac that is remarkably fresh, floral, and "nervous" even after decades of wood contact.
Tasting Notes (Vintage 1962):
Nose: Highly aromatic with delicate notes of orange zest, cedar wood, and fine spices.
Palate: A refined, light, and fruity profile with hints of praline, tobacco, and honey.
Finish: Exceptionally long with a clean, nutty aftertaste that reflects the limestone-rich soils of the Premier Cru.
Condition: This bottle is in pristine condition. The seal is fully intact, and the label is clean and legible. (A perfect gift for a 1962 milestone celebration).
