I’m afraid I left you hanging.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my efforts to try Louis XIII, which is reputed to be the world’s finest and most expensive cognac. A few liquors actually do cost more, but that is only because their bottles are made of laser beams, or something.
Louis Treize, as it is colloquially known, is so fine and so expensive because it is made up of 1,200 different eaux-de-vie — fruit brandies — some of them up to 100 years old.
