Remy Martin Louis XIII
Remy Martin is one of my favorite Cognacs, so this really caught my eye.
The new Louis XIII is the latest high end release. The Cognac was made using only grapes from the heart of the Cognac vineyard in the Grande Champagne area. It is 100 years old, and has been carefully watched over by three generations of Cellar Masters.
The bottle is an impressively crafted 70cl carafe Baccarat crystal decanter with fleur-de-lys stopper. The Cognac itself is said to have "Rich notes of jasmine, saffron and five spice aromas along with subtle flavors of fig, sandalwood and ginger.". Not that I ever really put much stock in the tasting notes, as I think everyone gets a little something different.
If you're looking to add this to your home bar, haopefully you didn't think 100 year old Cognac was going to be cheap. Each bottle retails for £1,200, which is just shy of about $1,900 USD. Not sure if it's worth it but if I was a betting, and I am, I'd say that if you can afford it, get one.
