WTF? Did Pendo just blow 1.2 Million Kshs on this TINY bottle of alcohol?

Originating from the town of Cognac, Charente, France, the Rémy Martin LOUIS XIII cognac is one of the most exclusive, most expensive and most esteemed cognacs in the world.

Going for about 1.2 Million Kshs for a bottle and 41,000 Kshs and above for a tot;  the 40% cognac is for the high-browed in society and should be a minimum of 40 years in age and a maximum of 100 years in age.

In addition unlike whisky or bourbon which is brewed from grain, this brandy is distilled from Trebbiano grapes that can only be sourced from two regions in the world, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. In addition, the oak which is used to make the Rémy Martin barrels are sourced from only one place in the world, Limousin, France.

What makes this wine so expensive is because of the process and materials that are put into making it, and as an author from askmen.com wrote "Louis XIII is blended from around 1,200 different eaux de vie (clear brandy), the youngest of which is around 40 years old and the oldest over 100. That’s 1,200 taste tests, plus aging, re-barreling, re-cellaring, testing, blending, and doing it all again, for around three generations, by people who are the best in the business in the only place in the world it can be done, for over 100 years."

And this expensive cognac was the drink of choice for Pendo, Brian and Risper as they sat down to party recently.
