Has anyone had Louis XIII?

[NozeCandy]

I'm curious and might just splurge. How good is it?




$1400 cognac anyone?

[superadvisor]

It's balla', but still not that good.

Not worth the money, but if someone else is paying I see no downside.

I had some once, but don't know if it was the $1400 variety. Seemed very meh if you ask me.

a question to all the spirits connoisseurs that are able to refer to this stuff as "not too bad."

are you speaking in the realm of cognacs? like you'd prefer Courvoisier XO or something else to this? or is it possible that you just don't like cognac?

I used to frequent Lou's Pub (from that thread about the 50 best bars in the country) and had it a couple of times as a gift from Lou. I'm not a big cognac fan but thought it was pretty good stuff.

Lou (who I think got about $50 c. 1997, a snifter for it)) used to put all the names of the people who bought it into a jar and when the bottle was empty he would draw a name and give the winner the bottle. Evidently it's some kind of bad ass crystal.

Might make a cool centerpiece then.

I'd take regular Hennessy or Courvoisier with a splash of Grand Marnier or Benedictine instead, much cheaper and better tasting.
