A miniature bottle of Hine Extra Cognac, presented in a Golden Stag decanter. Made by Bernardaud, this Limoges porcelain decanter sculptured from the most delicate French porcelain and entirely hand-gilded with 24 karat gold on a deer bottle. This golden stag is a faithful replica of the famous Hine emblem. The "objet d'art" is numbered in Hine's register and provides its owner with a unique and rare collector's item.

In 1791 and at the age of 16, an Englishman from Dorset named Thomas Hine travelled to France to pursue his passion for cognac. His sense of historical timing however was disastrous, and after trying to flee the French Revolution he was imprisoned at the Château de Jarnac where he remained sequestered for several months. Fortunes turned in his favour however, and he later married Françoise-Elisabeth, the daughter of his hosts, subsequently taking over the running of the cognac production at the Château. With his product slowly gaining a positive reputation, he then renamed the brand after himself in 1817. Today Château de Jarnac remains the headquarters Hine, and it is one of the oldest buildings in the commune. In 1962 royalty came calling, with Queen Elizabeth II approving a royal warrant for Hine to supply the British royal household. To this day they are the only cognac house entrusted with such an honour.

The renowned French porcelain-maker Bernardaud masters the art of French porcelain since 1863 in Limoges, combining craftsmanship and innovation, creativity and heritage.
