0015. LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 43.8

In 2004, Pierrette Trichet – Cellar Master of Remy Martin discovered a most unusual cask which has unprecedented expression with the alcoholic content and the rare flavors. She decided that this special case would not be merged with other LOUIS XIII tierçons and would be bottled as a special edition in its own right.

And the first edition of LOUIS XIII Rare Cask was born with only 786 bottles. This special cognac has 43.8% abv. Mrs. Trichet said there would never be a second cask, and to that extent Rare Cask now takes its place as a permanent companion to the classic LOUIS XIII.

A team of some 20 master craftsmen from The Baccarat crystal brought the decanter to match with this cognac. They used black crystals – an extremely rare substance to make Rare Cask. The decanter’s neck is dressed in palladium, a rare and precious metal that ranks with gold and platinum. Each decanter requiring nearly two weeks of work to complete.

Louis XIII Rare Cask 43.8 is a natural miracle that will always remain beyond the reach of prediction.
