Cognac is often considered to be the most prized brandy in the world. Produced primarily in small quantities, the Cognac region has centuries of history behind it, and bottles of the stuff regularly fetch thousand-dollar sums at auction. But some expressions reach an entirely new level of luxury (and price), as demonstrated by a new report from Wine-Searcher that reveals the 10 most expensive bottles of Cognac in the world.
In what may come as no surprise, the bulk of the list is dominated by three of the four major Cognac houses — Hennessy, Rémy Martin, and Courvoisier — though some newer brands, like Jay-Z’s D’Usse, also crack the top 10.
