Released in 1991, The Talent de Thomas Hine Hors d'Age Cognac is not just a Cognac, it's an experience. The hors d’age age classification here is an understatement; while it means the youngest eaux-de-vie in this blend are at least 30 years old, we know that some of the older components date back to the 19th Century. Exclusively made of Ugni Blanc grapes of the Grande Champagne Premier Cru appellation, this Cognac is not just about appearances - it is the very essence of quality. The Hine family have been putting down casks for this blend for over a century, allowing their high humidity cellars to facilitate a slow maturation process. Safe behind no less than two locks, the keys to these casks have been handed down the generations until Bernard Hine finally chose to present the result. And what a result! Talent de Thomas Hine Cognac is served in a decorative crystal carafe designed by Baccarat, engraved all over with delicate grapevines and the signature Hine stag emblem. It is presented in a striking case hand-made from precious Macassar ebony and Honduras mahogany, individually numbered, and accompanied by four crystal tulip glasses designed by Bernard Hine. The case is also a functional cigar humidor, the final quirky touch to an exceptionally luxurious package. One of a kind!
