Cognac and Whisky Joint Venture
Hine Cognac and Glenfarcas whisky have launched a joint, 1953, limited edition, vintage release. The two houses have collaborated to offer 125 pairs of their respective spirits, available for £14,000 each. Both the Hine and Glenfarcas have been bottled at cask strength and are housed in separate wooden obelisks which incorporate wood from the original cask of the spirit inside. Eric Forget from Hine Cognac described the 1953 as “one of the best of the last century”, but it is of course in limited supply. Though an ideal gift for a 60th Anniversary or Birthday this year, they are a little pricey, so if you’re shopping for a special cognac or armagnac, at a more affordable price, take a look at our Occasion Gifts page.
