"Rémy Martin has announced their first single-harvest cognac since Rémy Martin 1965. Rémy Martin has chosen a cognac crafted from the legendary 1989 vintage. Hot summer days combined with cool nights for ideal maturation of the Ugni Blanc grapes. Georges Clot, Rémy Martin cellar master at the time, strove to select the best plots from over a thousand exclusively located in Grande Champagne vineyards, choosing eaux-de-vie from four estate-owned plots. After 18 years of ageing in Limousin oak barrels which were kept separately in a dedicated Rémy Martin cellar, it was decided at the annual tasting in 2007, that Rémy Martin 1989 was reaching its peak.
Tasting notes highlight clove and fig with an intense lingering mouthfeel. It is sold in a black frosted bottle with a resealable wooden cork hand dipped in wax to create a unique seal for each bottle and sells for $300."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: While 1988 is über popular in Hip Hop circles and that year holds almost mythical value to many nostalgic types, apparently, 1989 was a blockbuster harvesting year for the house of Rémy Martin. As if the sun, moon and the stars all aligned @ once, the unique confluence of weather conditions experienced in 1989 @ the Rémy Martin vinyard have produced a rare single vintage (rare because Cognac is generally blended from several premium barrel aged batches) that now, after 19 years, has been unleashed on the world to the delight of savory sippers everywhere.
As always, fine Champagne Cognac (and all liquor for that matter) should be enjoyed responsibly - ie: NOT on the rocks ... lol. If Y.O.U. must cool your jets, gently place your snifter upon the bar and ask your friendly neighborhood bartender for a "waterback". Can't Y.O.U. tell that I know what I'm doing? LOL. Holla @ ya boy in BK!
