Hine Antique XO is a blend of over 40 Cognacs aged for more than 10 years. They are all made from grapes grown in the Grande Champagne of the Cognac Region, the finest cru of the region.

The Hine company is named after Thomas Hine, an Englishman from Dorset, England. He married Françoise Elisabeth, whose father owned a Cognac house in Jarnac. Hine took the company to new heights, and eventually renamed it Thomas Hine & C°. in 1817. It is one of the oldest Cognac houses in Jarnac.
