Mariage de Thomas is not just a cognac, it’s a tribute. Named in honor of Thomas Hine, the visionary who shaped the house’s refined, understated style, this expression brings together some of the rarest eaux-de-vie in Hine’s cellars. Opening the bottle feels like stepping into a grand French drawing room at dusk: warm lamplight, polished wood, and the quiet presence of history lingering in the air.

Interesting Fact:
Thomas Hine was an Englishman who moved to France in the 18th century, eventually lending his name to the house. His marriage to Françoise Elizabeth, daughter of a cognac merchant, became the literal and symbolic union that built the Hine legacy, inspiring the name “Mariage.”

Serving Suggestions:
Neat in a tulip glass to capture its full aromatic depth. Allow it to breathe for a few minutes, the evolution in the glass is part of the experience. Avoid ice; warmth reveals the most refined layers of this prestigious cognac.
