Going up for live auction on August 14th, in Dayton, New Jersey is probably one of the most expensive bottles of cognac on the planet: Louis XIII de Rémy Martin. Made using wine grapes from Cognac, France, this cognac is blended using 1200 eau de vie (colorless fruit brandy) that is anywhere from 40 to 100 years old. The cognac is then stored in several hundred year old oak barrels, which in turn end up giving the cognac its distinct oaky flavor. Not only is this cognac made using an elaborate and intricate process, but the decanter the cognac is stored in is just as fancy. Each decanter is uniquely numbered and is studded with crystals that have been gathered, blown, and shaped to give it a unique design. If you’re a cognac, wine, or a general alcohol connoisseur, then you just have to check out this upcoming live auction.
