Remy Martin Louis XIII $3000 Bottle Review

I allow myself to make one extremely dumb purchase a year, and I decided I would buy a $3000 bottle of liquor. In this video, I will be taste testing and reviewing the Louis XIII Cognac Bottle. Reviewing with me is my Uncle Binh Nguyen from Food Addiction TV. If you enjoy this video, please leave a like and subscribe to my KZbin channel. I know it has been 3 years since my last video, but I seriously plan on doing more with the channel in the near future. Thanks for watching :)

[@SAK59]

You confirmed what I have suspected. The bottle and packaging is totally what you are paying for. About a decade ago I paid $300 for a bottle of Remy Martin XO in a very nice bottle. My friends and I had a very sophisticated evening drinking it. I really didn't feel that it was all that different from any inexpensive Cognac. It crosses my mind now, that if I bought a cheaper bottle of Cognac and filled the XO bottle with it, everyone (that I know) would be convinced that it's the real thing. That's what you should do when you finish the Cognac in that beautiful bottle. Just get a much cheaper bottle of Remy Martin and refill the bottle. You will continue to impress friends and family and eventually feel that you got your money's worth. Thanks for this extremely honest review!

[@msbrownbeast]

For XO cognac, try the Hennessey XO, IMHO it tastes better than the Remy or Courvoisier XOs (but also pricier).

[@pavchito1]

This was actually a really good video, no editing, non bias review, funny guys, great chemisty, both seem drunk which is hilarious

[@lenderzconstable]

I wouldn’t buy the whole bottle but I would buy a glass on a most special occasion and one for my significant other. But I heard the bottle by itself has considerable resale value. You guys are the first I’ve heard who weren’t blown away by the taste. I would definitely like to try this one day, just on the strength of the sheer experience of doing so. Glad you guys had the opportunity. Cheers!

[@1010thechamp]

Tbh I weren't 'blown away' by it either, sure its far less harsh than the standard VSOP level but I'd say the Richard Hennessy for similar price is a better drink, for more dynamic, if anything this is a bit flat but who cares just enjoy what you enjoy init.

[@ticktology]

I had a few shots of this stuff at my girlfriends uncles Christmas house party. They had no idea how much the bottle cost and they were shocked when I told them. It was good, but nothing crazy. I’ve seen shots of this stuff go for $350 at luxury hotels/bars. Thank you for a casual review, it was very entertaining lol.

@@mikepowell8232 Yes sir! I worked in a large restaurant as a teenager and in those days, the price label was affixed to every bottle, and I remembered seeing a price of $57 for the Louis XIII. This compared with around $10 for a bottle of VSOP, and a bottle of Dom Perignon cost less than than $30. It seems to me that over time, it's the high end stuff that escalated greatly in price. A new bottle of Louis XIII now retails for about $4,500 in Canada.

[@chrisroman22]

[@albertmiller3082]

Fine cognac deserves to be sipped. Knocking back “shots” is no way to consume such a rich liquor. Let the spirit sit one minute in the glass, after pouring, for each year in the cask. A 40 year old spirit needs a good half hour to fully relax into any glass after nearly half a century sleeping in a warehouse barrel. Popping it open & doing shots (as if it was Jim Beam) is dishonoring everything special about the rare bottle. It may NOT be worth $3k but damn, give the liquor a decent chance to develop before you slowly savor the fragrance and sip the pour. Evaluating even drugstore cognac successfully requires that you consume the beverage appropriately.

[@tomsydney2430]

@@davidshen5742 The price is justified by the age it needed to spent in the barrels. I have never had it and will be a long time before I will (if ever), but I at least try to understand the price behind it. And on that breathing - it is a common knowledge, that such old alcohol should be let to breathe. You can try it yourself. Maybe you won't like it, and it is ok, but you will realize it does change the taste.

Good tip about giving the drink 1 minute rest time in a glass for each year it spent in a barrel. I was drinking a 12 yo bottle of booze yesterday but had to give it a half an hour rest in a glass for the scent of too much alcohol to go away. After 30 mins I could sniff the nice aroma it produced and the drink became much much smoother. So yeah, definitely have got to wait. I'm surprised they didn't put this info in the instructions on the website on how to drink it, where those guys read it. What a shame!

It's a fine aged cognac. The value is not only in it's taste but in it's rarity, history, age, distillation craftsmanship, quality and the incredible care it went in to produce this. When taking a sip, you must respect and embody all these qualities to truly appreciate it. It's like comparing between a Rolex and Timex, both watches keep good time but one has an intrinsic and timeless quality while the other does not. Cheers.

What is the point of this if the product tastes horrible

[@windows5096]

its just a drink. thats the sales pitch they pull on suckers that have too much money. the physical appearance of a watch is a very large aspect of the product itself. You cant imitate the look of a rolex without spending the money it takes to make it look that way, and everyone can tell the difference. But liquor? you can for sure imitate the taste. Every watch those wine tasting videos where “experts” cant even tell the difference between $1000 wine and bottom shelf wine? but hey, its your money you can burn it for all i care

[@leonarddavies288]

Great honest review I love cognac and unfortunately just can’t afford a bottle of this and I’ve always wanted to try it , love the Remy Martin XO love it !! I’m English and in England on Amazon a 35ML bottle of Remy XO is usually £70 (pounds) I think today’s exchange rate is $1.2 US 🇺🇸 to £1 GBP 🇬🇧 so £70 is only maybe $80 if that . I just work a regular job as a Fork lift driver and my salary is only £15-17 per hour I guess I could buy a bottle throughout the year and it would leave me very short for my rent on a 2 bedroom apartment in Liverpool is £650 per month and it’s a nice apartment. I’d be short for groceries and as one of you guys said 3 grand is a hell of a lot of money for just the regular working class guy or gal you could get a used car , have a nice holiday abroad , get a top of the range OLED tv . Clothes etc etc … I can afford the XO and that is not like all the time I like the 1738 and that is £49.99 here in Tesco which is the UK’s biggest supermarket chain . Like your guys Walmart we have Asda the second largest and Walmart own Asda they have roll back and the always low prices slogan 😅 you can tell it is Walmart they are cheaper than Tesco usually and in the U.K. the sales tax VAT is already added to everything so the price on the shelf is the price you pay . The Hennessy was on sale yesterday for £39 and I the Remy Martin original was £43 . It was great seeing you open and taste it and show the packaging and just be down to earth about the reality of it , well done guys very humble and great talking points , I watched a video of some master distiller some French guy who makes this stuff doing a review and it was way way over the top pretentious like if you had been touched by god just drinking this Cognac I liked the realism of this and Cognac is my drink of choice I usually have it on the rocks and I’ll usually have the VSOP the VS or the XO in my cabinet. Tesco actually do their own version of XO and it’s the Finest brand which is their signature branded generic branding for the most expensive items throughout the store like Tesco Finest Fillet steak or Tesco Finest ice cream or Tesco Finest cooked meats etc etc . They had a bottle of cognac that was just Tesco value Cognac £14 😣 it’s not good , their own brand XO is £37 and it is a lovely drop well worth the price a massive 10/10 for value . The Remy Martin XO was £68 just checked online they have the 35 ml bottle for that and the 700ml bottle is £135 . Expensive still but it is so moreish 😂 I don’t mind the Martell V.S either . I enjoyed this review it was exactly what I needed to see , down to earth and you two guys were just keeping it real . I like scotch too usually single malt and the 15 year old Glenfiddich is under £40 and good value , I remember buying the Johnnie Walker blue label scotch and it costing £170 😮 and although it was very nice and presentation was second to none it was just not not worth it I’m afraid , this Louis XIII is the favourite drink of Jay-Z and was enjoyed by Napoleon 😂 👍

[@audes.4433]

One... you poured way too little in your glass to experience the full flavor., 2... the first 2 sips helps opens up the congac flavor, you should be picking up notes of cider, followed by a sweet taste (cider) then a nice soft vanilla bean flavor/aroma that finishes off with a light spicey taste. Pour 3x more than what you poured in your glass, trust me... your experience will be much more pleasing/different. I also recommend drinking it with a good Maduro cigar, e.g. like a Gurkha Maduro, a Montecito Oscuro. If Maduros are to bold then then I recommend hoing with a Dark Connecticut wrap from Romeo y Julieta line. I love a good cigar with L-Xlll.

I really like the honest amateur take. Sincerity is a lost art. Thank you for the video. I’ve drank this and thought was really good but $3k is way beyond my taste bud

[@BrianTanYT]

Antzzz Manzzz thanks for the comment. Appreciate it a lot.

[@Antzzz_Manzzz]

Jose Luis we are all fools in the end. He wanted to try it and honest that it’s not worth the price w respect to his palate know how. We’ve all made our fair share of mistakes in life but learning from them is what we all can do 😀🙏🏼

[@BrianTanYT]

Antzzz Manzzz I agree! I did not claim to be a connoisseur, I did this taste test as the average drinker haha. I was just curious as to why the bottle costed as much as it did. I’m sure a lot of people are curious as well so I did a review so other people can see what it was like from the average person. Cheers!

Prices of high end cognac have shot through the roof in recent years. That being said, there are quite a few other high end cognacs that cost significantly more than the Louis XIII.

I’d rather put the money towards a rolex! Great honest video! I appreciate plain and simple reviews like this. Next time you should do some wine!

[@dakyddghost9990]

see i dont drink much & this the first video i seen done by somebody who's not an alcohol nutcase just a moderate consumer thanks for this vid frfr

[@manuelbou2576]

Well, no tasting notes given other than it tastes good. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@claudiomonreal4822]

Lol

[@edornelas8275]

If you buy shots of this it would be $300-400 a shot!! You should of looked at a video on how to drink! You do not chug this. It’s a sipping drink. You pour, air it, sniff it, then take a small taste, swift it around and then starts sipping it but never chug. Anything quality you did not chug whether whiskey, tequila, etc. I bought a ounce bottle for $660! I had before in high end restaurants. You should never regret the experience!

[@trentonvanhorn]

Hey, when you're finished those empty bottles will sell probably 1/3 of what you paid for it

[@zatara5299]

i also bought one. Just waiting for a special occasion to drink with the family.

Hey long lost cousin!

Lol for 3k I’ll be drinking by myself 😂😂😂

It will just get Better as it breathes, warms etc. One also needs a good few proper glasses. About 500bucks worth. A roaring wood fire and a salty wet dog, a warm clever woman clothed only my sweater and lush smiles ..and bathe in the glow. Ambience is ALL.... And you must not plan any of it, of course .. That is very heaven...

[@zvone187]

This is the best cognac review I've seen 🤣

[@michaelguard9647]

I thought I was watching the movie, “Crazy Rich Asians”.

[@lutang]

I had some one time. This girl I was dating invited me over her Uncle's for Christmas. He was drunk and I saw he had this, and I know you don't get if you don't ask, so I hinted, "oh, how does that taste? I heard a lot about how great it was..." and he said "Let's have some!" We went out to the back patio with cigars and our Louis XIII shots. When I was ashing the cigar it fell into the shot glass. I smoothly grabbed his shot glass and annexed that. He went to grab the shot of Louis XIII with the ash in it, held it up to look at it, then shrugged as if to say "well, that's $200 so whatever" and downed it. But it just tasted like every other bottle of Cognac/Brandy/whatever I ever had. Then again, mixing alcohols, smoking cigars, and not knowing what I'm doing probably all had something to do with that. lol.

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

Probably a bit too rich for my taste but I will be trying the 1738 as I've just been getting into cognac. Is Cognac a popular drink in Vietnam because of the French influence I assume?

[@NuanDaa]

I never drink cognac but I’m watching this video 😅

[@petermcfookens]

Ive had it..its good but I've had Cognacs for around 100 bucks that were just as good in my opinion. Never bought it...just had a rich friend who had a bottle in his bar. No booze is worth 3k lol. There is a bourbon called Pappy Van Winkle 23 that has been going for around this same price..again its good but no liquor is worth over a grand.

[@SpectrKing]

I love how u can tell who is a broke boy from the comments my family and I sip this bottle multiple times a year every year for the past 4 years broke people will hate and people who have a good life put respect on this bottle and drink it right straight
