We received an bottle from a reader we already reviewed before, the Courvoisier Napoleon! this time the bottle got an awesome story! The bottle was a present from the Shah of Iran (Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlavī) in the early 1970′s  from his private cellar. Awesome story isn’t?

Today we received an for us unknown miniature of the Cognac-brand named Macholl Freres, hopefully someone else knows some more about this brand….

A reader has a Robin Napoleon, a Cognac brand we never heard about before… Hopefully someone else knows some more about this brand and iconic bottle in wooden box….

Today we received an bottle from a reader, the readers father bought the bottle during the Vietnam war which ended in 1975.  This bottle is with the reader in Saigon and he is wondering how much this one is worth.
 (If you also have a Cognac bottle you would like to sell, or you need information about age or value – send us photos and information, just submit).

Davidoff is since January 2011 no longer being made by Hennessy. Thomas HINE & C° now have the license for Davidoff Cognac and did the revamping of the cognacs.
The new Davidoff Cognacs are the VSOP and XO. We will soon publish some tasting notes about the new Davidoff Cognacs!

Today we received an awesome Rémy Martin 1724 – 1974, a Grande Champagne Cognac specially blended by Rémy Martin for their 250th birthday in 1974. The production was limited to 38.709 individually numbered and sealed bottles so this Cognac is quite exceptional today. Each bottle came with an certificate and wooden box.
However no information could be found about the age, some sources say that this blend also contains some Cognacs from the 18th century.

Hennessy is doing good business! Their mother; LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s leading high quality products group, recorded a 25% increase in first quarter 2012 revenue to 6.6 billion Euros. Organic* revenue growth was 14% compared to the same period in 2011.
The Group continued its excellent momentum at the start of the year with particularly fast growth in Asia and in the United States and good progress in Europe despite the contrasting environment.
