The Ultimate Ritual. Fifty Years. Fifty Bottles.

If Timeless Poetry whispers of half a century in the cask, Timeless Ritual speaks of it in full an ultra-exclusive collector's edition of the 1975 vintage that transforms the act of tasting cognac into a complete, ceremonial experience. Limited to just 50 bottles in the world, this is the rarest expression in Hine's entire history: the pinnacle of the Maison's craft, elevated by the finest objects of French artisanal heritage.

The same exceptional 1975 Grande Champagne eau-de-vie that defines Timeless Poetry is here presented with a complete tasting service three Bernardaud porcelain plateaux and two crystal tasting glasses  housed within a bespoke wooden coffret. Every element has been conceived to elevate the moment of tasting into something approaching ceremony: a ritual befitting cognac of this age, provenance and rarity.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep mahogany amber with burnished copper highlights luminous and infinitely complex.

Nose:
Candied fruits, roasted pineapple and baked apple, with cinnamon, vanilla and an extraordinary depth of mature oak that speaks of decades in the cellar. Immensely complex and endlessly rewarding.

Palate:
Monumental and silky the full expression of fifty years of patient maturation. Candied fruits, liquorice, warming spices and a richness that fills the palate completely, balanced by a freshness that defies its age.

Finish:
Eternal. A finish of extraordinary length and complexity the final word of a cognac that has had fifty years to find it.
