Rémy Martin Cognac Decanter by Baccarat, ca. 1938 | Exclusive Digital Appraisal | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW 

There's no way known it would have lasted this long in my hands..

Only an idiot pours $6,000 down the toilet. Sell it to an idiot, and buy a few decent bottles for $100 each. Keep the rest.

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 your throat is a toilet? Weird kinks man

​@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 One can buy some beautiful bottles of tasty Scotch single malt for around 100-120$ USD. I don't even like cognac. But I'll bet that is some good sippin.

Coke Zero didn't exist 90 years ago.

In a red Solo cup, with ice.

As long as the bouquet is not too pretentious..😂

Thanks. Your comment really made me laugh.

Coke Zero is poop.

Spoiler.

I agree I’ve seen 10k bottles of patron at our big liquor store lol. I think this is way under valued.

undervalued by the market maybe, but the expert seems to be right with his price. There is one for sale, also with box and stuff on a website for 11k. So the true value is probably a bit under that, so right around the 8k area

Well the way cognac , especially this cognac is made it’s literally the exact same way in the same tools…. This msrps today for about 3k. Basically the exact same liquid. I’ve had a Louis pour from a 1920 bottle side by side with a modern. Not much of a difference sadly. Now an old weller bottle or old pappy bottle is a different story since the original ways and tools to make it are long gone.

This is admittedly an old clip (pretty sure or they need way better cameras)

Vintage bottles of this have been sampled before & they're said to be better than new bottles. Its alcohol in glass, will not turn rancid with small amounts of air entering throughout the century.

Indeed, once bottled, brandies, cognacs, armagnacs or whisky (or any liquor above 35% alc) do not change very much. But they also do not spoil. This particular bottle has some evaporation but it's normal for such old bottling, because it has a natural cork stopper and a bit of alcohol and water escapes each year. And regarding the taste- it should keep its high quality, Louis XII by Remy Martin is still produced and its a very high end cognac. Given the condition of this bottle i think it could fetch more than 8000$ on an auction today- espacially in Europe or better yet Asia.

Obviously, it doesn't 'age' in glass. But it's fine. Literally the only thing that matters is how much money someone will exchange for it. And rich morons will trade several thousand dollars for it.

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 There's nothing obvious about it. Many people think that distilled spirits continue to age after bottling.

@@sypialnia_studio I figured that if vapor could escape, then outside contaminants could enter. Cork is a two-way street. 😃

Its behind the green door

ho ho 😆@@benwilson6145

The little green absinthe fairy stole it.

You can literally buy a 38 Rémy Baccarat for $3000 right now. Having the original box and stopper adds value to be sure, but definitely nowhere near what you're thinking.

@@TeamDreamhunter I don't get the disparity in prices.

They probably made mixed drinks with it and Cola LOL. Ingrates!

Yeah that was very good cognac; I remember it well. RMS. Remy Martin Sonoma. Was better then the original.

Yes....the bottle was encrusted with diamonds.

Sells it the next day for $20.000 😉

The only value in a Picasso is filling wall space...other than that, its worthless.🤔

@@b80-s9i Only if you don't like Picassos.

It was a bad appraisal. He didn't even know that there should be a number etched in the bottom of the bottle and that the stopper should have the exact same number etched on the bottom. If the numbers do NOT match, it is a marriage and not "original".

For sure...especially at those fancy pants auctions the millionaires go to! 😎👍

It's worth it. My boss had a bottle of this and we cracked it. Money is common and cheap. You only live once.

@markjer.....so your boss had an unopened bottle of 1938 Remy Martin Cognac and decided to pop it with an employee? Nowhere near a faint smell of the word believable🤦‍♂️

@@b80-s9i By “this” maybe he means Remy Martin but not necessarily a 1938 Baccarat?

@@b80-s9i Holy Crap a troll on the internet????!?!? Yes. My boss was Bernard Kurzawa and he was the head chef and owner of Bernard's Country Inn in Stevens Point, Wisconsin and was the last European trained master chef in the state at the time when I worked there back in the 1990's. He passed away last year, but you can contact his wife and kids about the bottle, he had it as a centerpiece of his bar for many decades, unopened. When he retired, we cracked it. On his advice, I bought a few dozen bottles of Chateau Haut Brion 1982 and 1988 and Chateau Lafite Rothschild and have drunk many of them with friends over the years and sold enough to pay for the lot and more. I have one bottle of Lafite Rothschild left. Thanks for being a dick, nice to meet you too.

Please, if you ever get to try some, do not do a shot of it 😅

I'd drink it all and put pepsi back into the bottle and seal it up again:)

​@@GoogleUser-yj1wythats like trying to fake a graded pokemon card: you _can,_ but its easily-detectable

Ya but somebody needs to drink it at some point, why not you ? Though if it was like the only unopened specimen left in existence then I wouldnt.

More valuable, probably. More tasty, no. Cognac ages in the cask, once it's transferred to a bottle, it doesn't continue aging.

IT is cognac, not stupid brandy

The old bat will be dead by then.

​@@tomspice73 1:13 "It is the finest brandy procurable". Cognac is a type of brandy.

true. @@popcorny007

I'll take it chilled 😂

What’s the vintage? 😂

@@ozziejohnsen1567 He already said it's a 2020.

😵‍💫😵🤢🤮Mad Dog 20/20🤮🤮🤮

Wow 😳

Nah, it would have done so already if it wasn't sealed 100%.

With whisky, what evaporates is known as the "angel's share".

Ya when they make it.Not in a glass bottle.@@malcolmjcullen

True, more accurately when it's in the barrel, but it still evaporates through the cork stopper.

Thanks, I was wondering who's it was..I got properly tipsy

You dummy 😂

I was thinking the same thing. The fill level is quite low; I would have just opened it and drank it a long time ago; I suspect it will be a little flat now if they open it.

You had fifty wives? A glutton for punishment, I guess.

At first I read that as "my 50th wife"... 😄

Wow. I'm surprised that the contamination you talk about wasn't discussed by the so called 'expert'. Anyways, it's price is higher unopened - so we'll never know 😊

@@robertgeorgemiller278 I tried to leave you a link, but my post was deleted because it contained a link....!!! Anyway, look for lead leeching in crystal bottles on google. Here's a part of it... Typically, lead crystal contains 24-32% lead oxide. If beverages are stored for a long time in decanters made of lead crystal, tiny amounts of lead can leach out. The maximum allowable level of lead in drinking water is 50 micrograms per litre, a concentration that can be exceeded in wines that are kept in crystal decanters for a long time. Port wine, for example, can steadily increase its lead concentration up to 50 fold in four months, from 90 to 4000 micrograms per litre. Brandy stored over five years can have over 20,000 micrograms per litre. So while there is no problem serving alcoholic beverages from lead crystal decanters at your dinner party, they should not be stored in them for any period of time.

Thanks for letting us know how cheap you are.

Why??

I wouldn't pay $8,000 for it, but you'd be a moron to refuse to pay $25 for something that another person will give you $8,000 for. BUY LOW, SELL HIGH.

This is the thought process of someone who will die homeless, with no money for food.
