HOW YOU SHOULD DRINK IT:

• Straight
• In cocktails (French 75, Sidecar, Brandy Alexander, Between the Sheets)

FAST FACTS:

• Hine is one of the few houses to regularly sell vintage cognacs, which are only made during the best harvests, and so-called “early landed” cognacs, which have been aged in Britain.
• Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is a big fan of Hine. She’s been buying the house’s cognac since 1962.
