” Blended from 11 of the finest vintages of the 20th century..”
If I may say so in this marketing setting, I frequently mention this bottle negatively when I speak about cognac, sorry. In my opinion the Timeless is one of the biggest rip-offs I am aware of in todays consumer market because:
1. For this price I want the very best cognac, leave out the 8th or 9th best decade! I want all of the cognac to the be the very best; why blend in not fully developed cognac from the 1990’s?
2. The price is like for all Hennesy products excessively overrated. First the owners of Hennesy want their return on invested capital. Then there is the multiple layers of management of these cognac houses owned buy multinationals.
Imagine the superior Jean Fillioux no.1: The family produces the grapes on their own chateau, destill and maintain the cognac barrels. When you pay, the value is inside the bottle!
3. Advertizing: Imagine the cost of telling the entire tax-free world how succesful you will become if you buy the Timeless. Is it improving the quality of the cognac? No. If you buy the fantastic Ragnaud Sabourin Florilege the cost of the bottle is 25 cents and there is no costly marketing campaign to be financed!
4. The price of the very nice bottle itself is very high; USD 4-500 maybe? Again, it is not adding quality to the cognac.
5. Imagine you are buying the cognac in a bar and you empty the last 4 cl. Will you be lucky enough to become the owner of the bottle? No. You are just allowed to pay for the barowner to keep the crystal designer bottle himself.
For you the owner of this bottle, I trade it with a better cognac at 1/10 of the price. You get a much better cognac (Leopold Caramel 30 carat). I get a famous cognac to give away to my snob cognac friends to prove them Normandin-Mercier Vielle Petite Champagne is a better product at less than 1/10th of the price!
Louis XIII owners: Nice bottle that too. Test the cognac against the cheap Delamain XO next time you want cognac! Or why not, the top of line Family Reserve?
Cognac enthusiasts: Investigate the 4 above mentioned cognac suppliers and forget about financing these costly advertizing campaigns & management. Invest in the honest small cognac houses and get the best cognac you ever had at a fraction of the rip-off prices. Good hunting!
