It is. I think I paid ?110 for a full bottle of the XO Excellence at duty free a couple of years ago. That gives you an idea of the lower end of the price scale. You did very well indeed.
I decided to treat myself to a decent Cognac just before Christmas. I've had a VS before and thought it was ok but but thought I'd pop into the great local independent wine shop near me to get something a little better.
My budget was ?50 but unfortunately they had sold out of the 50 quid stuff. After sampling a few cognacs and taking advice, I went a little bit silly and paid ?106 for this Maxime Trijol XO. It was one of those spur of the moment things I regretted once driving away from the shop! Well my regret was short lived when I sat down in front of the wood burner with a warm cognac in a proper cognac glass. For me this stuff is stunning and it will be a regular in my drinks cabinet from now on, I just wish it wasn't quite so expensive!
