Otard XO

This bottle was lying in a pub (cannot remember where) about 30 years ago when the reader and her husband were on holiday.  The publican said it was there when he took over years ago.

The husband, then quite a romantic bought it for her as she loves cognac.

This bottle is one of the earlier Otard bottles when they actually made XO cognac at about 25 years old.Infact it is a very good cognac but regrettably not very valuable. it is probaly wworth about £80.. It is though a lovely drink and it is suggested that the reader enjoys it.

I also have a bottle in the original gift box with the red cardboard. I received it as a gift in the early 1980′s. I’ve always been tempted to open it and try it out but I’m really not a drinker and probably wouldn’t enjoy it to it’s fullest.
