“The article mentioned that four bottles of the cognac were recovered in drinkable condition and were auctioned off for $45K each.”
Thanks.
“I wonder where they sourced the period-correct replacement cognac from, to fill the remaining (refurbished) bottles? It seems like very old examples of rare distilled spirits (like pre-ban absinthe, for example) tend to come for Spain.”
Good question. I’m guessing it’s not 100 years old.
Fools and there money are easily parted.
