Hine Grande Champagne Cognac Talent De Thomas w/ 4 Crystal Tulip Glasses

Honoring the journey of Thomas Hine, a native of Dorset, to Charente, "Talent" is offered in an ornate Baccarat-signed crystal decanter, nestled in a sequentially numbered humidor, painstakingly crafted from luxurious Macassar ebony and Honduras mahogany. The presentation is complemented by four Bernard Hine-designed tulip-shaped crystal glasses.

This experience could be best described as a meeting. A meeting of cognac, crystal, and rare wood. But more than that, it's a meeting that narrates a story spanning across eras.

This decanter holds a blend of various eaux-de-vie, each contributing its unique essence to create a delicate yet enduring harmony, echoing over a century's worth of history from the region and its people.

"Talent", akin to a seasoned leather adorned with a patina, mirrors the flux of time, longing to elevate the existent. It is rich and aromatic, with eastern inflections. This cognac carries the fragrance of candied dates, musky cloves, and sun-dried figs.

Its hint of sweetness, evoked by notes of gingerbread and currants, ensures a finish that lingers in memory.
