Cognac: Louis XIII Black Pearl

[hab1966]

Saw a 'bottle' of this in Selfridges (Trafford Centre) yesterday:



The cognac is released from a 100 year old barrel, specially selected from the family’s cellar, which contains a blend of 1,200 Eaux de Vie some of which date back 100 years. The decanter itself is a work of art modelled on an original flask found on the family estate, each bottle is hand blown from black crystal with platinum accents and individually numbered. Each magnum pays homage to the heritage of Louis XIII de Rémy Martin.

Price: £20,000

I have to say I am partial to a little Lous XIII and find it incredibly hard to stump up the £700 it costs. Have to say that will be on my must trys, 20K WOW which I doubt it is worth but I'm sure will be a peach, must get my Drink supplier to invite me to a tasting.

I have a client with a concession in Selfridges in London - IIRC they have actually sold one or two of these!
