Wine of the week - with Waitrose assistant wine manager Bernard Wilkes

Hine Antique Cognac - £75

Doctor Johnson once said: “Boys drink Claret, men drink Port and those who aspire to be heroes drink brandy.”

Waitrose manager Roger Barrow has just retired from our Canary Wharf store, having worked for John Lewis for more than 40 years.

He was often heroic during his time here, having seen through the store’s launch back in 2002.
And during reflective moments at home he was known to enjoy a brandy or two; specifically this.

Founded in 1782 by an immigrant from Dorset, Hine is a small producer of Cognac of unrivalled quality and complexity.

The XO possesses supple vanilla and honey notes with a hint of rancio – the nutty candied fruit character derived from extended cask ageing.

Serve at room temperature and savour the taste of Hine’s 200-year-old heritage.
