a bottle of Remy Martin XO

... is worth it. In the world of Cognac, XO stands for "Extra Old". Kind of lame, I know. But in terms of quality, it's a really sweet spot in my opinion. For Rémy Martin e.g. there are these levels of quality:

  • Rémy Martin Grand Cru — ca. $25/750mL
  • Rémy Martin VSOP — ca. $50/750mL
  • Rémy Martin Club
  • Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal
  • Rémy Martin XO Spécial — ca. $120/750mL
  • Rémy Martin XO Excellence —
  • Rémy Martin Extra
  • Louis XIII de Rémy Martin
  • L'Age D'Or de Rémy Martin
Anything above XO is really expensive. I never tried anything better than VSOP until yesterday. Since we had a work party with an open bar, I decided to go for the good stuff. Mainly as a science experiment, you know, for the betterment of all humankind. And I've come to realize: XO is worth it. It's really smooth. Maarit agrees :)
