Hine VSOP Vieux Cognac - 1970s
Hine VSOP Vieux Cognac. Bottled 1970s. 24 Fl Ozs. 70 Proof.
Thomas Hine was born in Dorset in 1775 and moved to France aged 16 in 1791. During the French revolution he was briefly imprisoned but was freed at the behest of Monsieur Delamain of the Ranson & Delamain cognac house, founded in 1763. Hine married Delamain’s daughter in 1796 and worked for Ranson & Delamain until it went bankrupt in 1817, when he set up his own cognac house, Thomas Hine & Co. Due to Hine’s close links with Delamain, Hine is sometimes erroneously cited as being founded in 1763 (even by Hine themselves).
After receiving a Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth in 1962, Hine & Co. was purchased in 1971 by Distillers Company Ltd (DCL), whose successors United Distillers sold the house to Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) in 1987. Hine was bought by the ill-fated Trinidadian company CL Financial in 2003, but returned to French ownership in 2013 when it was purchased by EDV SAS, a company associated with the Nicolas wine retailers.
