Louis XIII Black Pearl cognac is Rémy Martin’s most luxurious cognac. Its bottle is designed by Baccarat and hand-blown from black crystal; the limited-edition bottle retails in stores for between $31,000 and $40,000. Suppose you’d rather sample just an ounce of this sinful treat. If you’re a New Yorker, a shot of Louis XIII Black Pearl can only come at one place and at one price: Rose Club at The Plaza Hotel, for $2,500.
This rare and exquisite cognac is only available for sampling at the Rose Club; such exclusivity comes at a price. At $2,500 per ounce, the 1.75 liter bottle of Louis XIII Black Pearl effectively retails for $80,000; however, the bottle as a whole is not for sale.
