For more than 150 years, LOUIS XIII has been the ultimate expression of the finest eaux-de-vie, an exquisite blend sourced from Grande Champagne terroir, the first cru of the Cognac region. For the third time in history, Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau uncovered the third milestone in the RARE CASK legacy: RARE CASK 42.1. The uncovering of a RARE CASK is a unique moment in the life of a LOUIS XIII Cellar Master, as such a spontaneous, rare occurrence may never happen in a single lifetime. The single tierçon provides a limited number of just over 775 decanters, specially crafted from black crystal by Baccarat.
LOUIS XIII has extended an exclusive invitation to cognac connoisseurs across the United States to partake in experiencing this ultra-premium offering by visiting one of their esteemed partners to savor the 'By the Glass' tasting service of RARE CASK 42.1—the only means to experience it without securing one of the exceedingly limited decanters (SRP $52,500 per decanter).
This unique 'By the Glass' experience awaits enthusiasts in select key markets, including the Baccarat Hotel in New York City, Faena in Miami, Delilah in Las Vegas, Papi Steak in Las Vegas, and Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles, until the very last drop is poured from their ultra-limited RARE CASK 42.1 decanters. LOUIS XIII’s RARE CASK 42.1 By the Glass is available for the suggested retail price of $3,500 USD per single (1) ounce pour and is presented to guests through a ceremonial tasting ritual - served with an exclusive crystal glass ornated with black quatrefoils, and spear that features a black medallion, both customary when serving LOUIS XIII’s RARE CASK.
