Bonjour Stephen,

Thanks for your message.
To reply to your questions, please see the below.
1. If a cognac bottle will be tasty after storing it for several years depends on the way it was stored.
2. Please get in touch with our team from Cabinet7. You can get an appraisal there and find out the value of your cognac bottle.

Best wishes,

Virginia

Courvoisier (Extra Vieille) that I purchased in 1966 through the officer’s mess while my ship was in the port of Aden. … still has the US Navy Mess sticker #01198298 . The bottle has a sealed Screw top; a bird looking emblem embossed into the glass; a “By Appointment Purveyors of Cognac Brandy to the late King George VI” label on its neck.
I have two questions:
1. Is it safe to drink/will it be tasty?
2. Is it too valuable to drink?
Thanks for your time & effort,
Stephen
…sorry that’s probably 3questions!

The boxes got immediately discarded and she leaves them on show in a drinks cabinet. Some 20yrs later she decide to open a Martell XO and the cork just broke with ease and stuck inside the bottle. I think the bottles should have been left inside the box it came in because daylight can not only affect the drink itself but can dry out the cork making it brittle.
I recently purchased a bottle of Lembert XO from Cognac Expert, it does not have a box so I put the bottle in a spare Courvoisier VSOP box.

I am a drinker who gets frustrated with a sudden ‘pungent’ alcohol, which is definitive of VSOP. So I tend to purchase matured XO that has been kept for at least 20 years. I know the master tasters will be far superiors to my tastebuds, but it’s a matter of personal choice. I do not get the burning alcohol and actually I can really taste the various notes of these. Anyone here share what I have experienced?

You can drink anything with ethyl alcohol inside… but it will not always taste good..and not so good för your healt! People were not so healty long time ago..used, lead, arsenic, and stuff like that when producing grapes and old bottles contained lead and other things…

The old champagne bottles from the Baltic contained something like this:The shipwrecked champagne contained unusually high levels of iron 118 μg (1 μg today) lead 554 μg (27 today), copper 1400 μg (27 today) and arsenic 415 μg (82 today) compared to modern vintages .. these bottles was tasted by me and Richard Juhlin …he found them very good tasting!!! But not healty! ( but he didn’t knew these numbers as the liquid hade not been tested yet!)

Keep your bottles standing dark and not to warm..and turn the bottles just to moist the cork 1-2 times a year…put plastic over the bottletop! You can get a taste of cork failure TCA if it the cork is in contact with the cognac too long….

AND REMEMBER NOTHING ORGANIC IN THIS WORLD IS SAFE FROM OXYGEN….( Not even you) FINALLY THE COGNAC WILL TASTE ALMOST NOTHING…ULLAGE!!

But if you buy ” brut de fût” your cognac will keep better!
AND STOP BUYING THE FIVE BIG BRANDS…YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE!!
Connoisseurs always avoid them, for taste and value!
Good luck!
A votre sante
