This & That
For The
High-Roller
Four bottles of Rémy Martin’s deluxe Louis
XIII Rare Cask 42,6 Cognac have been
released in South Africa. At R300,000 a
bottle, it’s the most expensive cognac on the
market. South Africa is the only country on
the African continent to be awarded several
of the 738 bottles that were produced from a
single cask. One bottle has already been sold
to a private collector, who wishes to remain
anonymous. The remaining three bottles are
available via Makro and Norman Goodfellows.
