“H by Hine is whimsical. If it were a young man, it would have the keen eye of Dick Diver in Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night. There’s only one rule: drink outside the box.”
A honeyed golden amber. Markedly floral, with a touch of vanilla, almond and apple blossom. Adventurous, lively and elegant. Expressive yet discreet, its notes of iris, fresh apricot, acacia and white pepper chime with its sprightly and joyful demeanour. Feels like Coachella in a bottle.
The ideal sidekick for daring cocktails and a flamboyant soloist when served neat with a dash of cold tonic. Serve frozen in a shot glass with sashimi. Or simply over ice with tonic, cider or ginger ale, garnished with a twist of lime, cucumber or rosemary. Add as a surprising twist to a punch when too many friends show up with very little time, or simply drizzle over a fresh peach salad.
92 Points, Antonio Galloni’s Vinous, “An average of five and a half years old, and a blend of Grande and Petite Champagne, H by Hine is light amber, with a pretty nose of iris and buttered brioche. On the palate, it’s light and fresh, offering notes of nougat and candied orange, and some wood on the finish.”
David Marsland for Drinks Enthusiast “Light with dry fruit and sweet marzipan on the nose. Very light on the palate with an instant sweetness. Soft, with a mix of fruits and marzipan and a hint of spice.”
Blended eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne grapes.
