In times of celebration, you drink.
The bigger the accomplishment, the better the boisson, as the French say.
So, for truly extraordinary moments, take a celebratory sip of the rarest cognac in the world: the $22K Louis XIII Rare Cask, available now for pre-order.
Nurtured by the House of Remy Martin, the Rare Cask was discovered by RM’s cellarmaster during a routine tasting inspection (Ed.’s note: Yes, best job ever) of the 100-year-old eaux de vie aging in Remy’s French stockrooms.
Only twice in 140 years has a cask been put aside for use.
And this one, of course, is exceptional. Notes of plum, dates, gingerbread. A subtle smokiness. Intensive aromas. A warm aftertaste. Perfectly balanced.
Each Rare Cask comes in one of 738 numbered black crystal decanters crafted by the Baccarat crystal house and adorned with 22-carat rose gold and quatrefoil engravings – all very Game of Thrones-like.
The $22,000 casks will be available to very select retailers and upscale hotels later this month, but to pre-order, call the Rare Cask Concierge at (212) 424-2202.
Time to celebrate.
