Without proper marketing getting even the best product or content out among the masses is almost impossible. You can have the best product out there but if your marketing isn’t good it just doesn’t do your product or service any justice. Well, we are no marketing whiz here at cognacfans.com but we certainly know that marketing plays a vital role.

On the internet we found an interesting video about a short Cognac Masterclass with Deputy Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau of Rémy Martin.
In this video, Baptiste shows how to drink the new Rémy Martin VSOP Matured Cask Finish. Enjoy!

As Cognac-Experts we are constantly browsing for great combinations with our favorite drink. Yesterday after a good meal we poured in a glass of Cognac and got a bar of  Organic Panamanian 80% Chocolate. The Hine Rare Fine Champagne Cognac, which has all the hallmark: rich vanilla and spicy notes you look for in a good quality brandy.

This is the second part of  the story, Dust-covered passion, which goes about the collecting and selling of the greatest Cognac Collection.

The beginning
I know quite a lot of collectors, but I fail to see how you start collecting bottles of liquor. “My father and grandfather, everyone in the family drank cognac”, he muses. “If you smoked cigars, you drank cognac.

He unlocks the door and I follow him into a cool, faintly lit room with ancient beams and red tiles. Rows and rows of dusty bottles of cognac, armagnac, port, chartreuse and other liquors stand proudly together on the many shelves like an army of old friends, their heads dripping wax as if they’ve just emerged from a snowstorm. I can sense we’re in a special place.

Cognac Fans favorite Cognac Design glass comes from Normann Copenhagen, we even used a picture of it in our header above!
The design of the glass is beautiful, it is also fascinating to see the glass could spin like a top. As for glass to drink, I find it somewhat less suitable for brandy.

We already spoke about the magnificent Louis XIII miniature, but found on the internet an even more beautiful edition of it, the Fleur de Diamant.
The “Fleur de Diamant” is a “Louis XIII de Rémy Martin” Grande Champagne cognac miniature.
Made from Baccarat crystal, it is presented in a limited edition numbered box, reminiscent of a jewel in its case.

We already spoke a lot about the iconic Louis XIII Cognac of Rémy Martin, the last years many special editions where presented of this exclusive Cognac in the Baccarat Decanter. Therefore we made a list of these specials.
In 1999 Rémy Martin launched the Louis XIII Rendez Vous, in 2001 Rémy Martin launched the Louis XIII Diamant, in 2007 they introduced the Louis XIII Black Pearl, in 2010 the Louis XIII Rare Cask and in 2011 the Louis XIII Jeroboam.
