When the time is right, the cognac is then sealed in a hand blown Baccarat Crystal bottle where it's serial number is then engraved on it.

Presented by candlelight and served in custom created crystal glassware, the experience is something you will not soon forget.
The tasting is limited to just 40 guests. Call for more details.
