This is
only rational among true connoisseurs of fine drinks. The rest of the world
will find no rhyme or reason in spending20.400Euro (£17,500) (approx. $26,400)
on one 700 ml (23.67 oz) bottle of rare cognac. But what do they know? You
simply can’t put a price on an experience that is never going to repeat itself
and which you can only live once.
So for
those of you who agree, here are more details on the Louis XIII Rare Cask
43.8cognac by Remy Martin.The fine liquor was created by PierretteTrichet, the
luxury brand’s cellar master. It all started back in 2004, when she found a
cask of Louis XIII Cognac – an exquisite mix of 1,200 eaux-de-vie! They had
been aged for 40 to 100 years, and had a strength of beyond the normal 40° – it
was a 43.8° cognac with an absolutely wonderful aroma boasting hints of nuts,
mushrooms and honey.
Now
passionate collectors can have access to this extremely rare and precious
blend, which is limited to only 786 decanters. They will be available
worldwide, being sold in forged metal boxes. The decanters themselves are true
jewels, being manufactured by fabled glass maker Baccarat. Each one is
handcrafted by over 10 skilled craftsmen, as every bottle needs to go through
more than 50 different procedures.
The French
fleur-de-lys is present on the decanter to emphasize the high origin of the
Louis XIII. As a final touch of opulence, the black crystal bottles are
decorated with palladium collars around their delicate necks. If purchasing one
of these exquisite decanters is a bit too much for you, maybe you should try at
least one glass at the few highly exclusive venues that will sell the cognac.
