Talent de Thomas HINE was created in 1991 by Bernard & Jacques HINE, the great great great great grandsons of Thomas HINE to celebrate the bicentenary of their ancestor's arrival in France. They selected one of their most prestigious cognacs for this occasion. These precious elixirs required an equally precious presentation & so they called upon master artisans, who like themselves, have inherited a centuries-old tradition. The result is Talent. Talant de Thomas Hine, an exceptional cognac, is presented in a unique numbered Baccarat crystal decanter to which a silversmith has added a silver b&. The decanter is displayed in a hand crafted case of Maccasar Ebony from India & Honduran Mahogany accented with inlaid tracery of violet wood, which can be converted into a cigar humidor. Four crystal tulip-shaped cognac glasses designed by Bernard Hine complete the set.
