Yesterday I bought some Hine Antique bottles for Cognac Tastings I regulary give in the Netherlands, strange enough I hadn’t reviewed this Cognac before so here it is!
The Hine Antique XO Fine Champagne is made from Grande and Petite Champagne spirits with at least 50% of Grande Champagne and contains more than 40 cognacs aged for more than one generation. This Cognac is replaced by a new Hine Antique XO made from 100% Grande Champagne Cognacs in 2010.

After tasted almost all accessible Courvoisier Cognacs, I needed to taste the well known Napoleon as well!
This Napoleon differs from the Courvoisier XO, because it uses Fine Champagne Cognacs, which means that at least 50% of the cognac comes from the Grande Champagne region, the rest needs to be from the Petite Champagne region.

The De Luze XO is a wonderful rich, aromatic Cognac XO at an affordable price of around 34 euros. For this money you got a great buy!
This is an XO Fine Champagne Cognac with 70% coming from the Grande Champagne and about 30% from the Petite Champagne region.
De Luze is often underestimated in size, it is in possession of 400 hectares of vineyards, that makes De Luze the largest private vineyard owner. In addition, it is in possession of 41! distilling kettles.

Remy Martin has unveiled its new top-end Cognac produced exclusively for travel retailers – the Remy Martin Diamant Fine Champagne Cognac. Inspired by a faceted diamond nestling in a jewellery box, Diamant Fine Champagne Cognac will be launched initially in October at DFS stores in celebration of the leading travel retailer’s 50th anniversary.

The Godet XO Fine Champagne is a 25 to 35 years aged cognac, made from grapes from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions. Given the age and the quality of this Cognac it has a great value for money for about 60 dollars per bottle.
The appearance of the bottle, appeals to me, it looks great through its shape and metal ring!
