Rémy Martin 1989 Cognac

The Rémy Martin is releasing a new single-harvest cognac which is their first since the Rémy Martin 1965.

The new Rémy Martin 1989 Cognac was originally created by Georges Clot, who was Rémy Martin's cellar master that year. He worked to select the best plots from over a thousand exclusively located in Grande Champagne vineyards, choosing eaux-de-vie from four estate-owned plots.

Now, after 18 years of ageing in Limousin oak barrels which were kept separately in a dedicated Rémy Martin cellar, it was decided at the annual tasting in 2007, that Rémy Martin 1989 was reaching its peak.

It is bottled in black frosted glass with a resealable wooden cork that's been hand dipped in wax to create a unique seal. Of course something rare like this isn't going to come cheap. Each bottle sells for $300.
