Question
Hi, ich habe eine 3l Flasche mit Courvoisier.
Sie hat am Hals ein 3 Strene Etikett und etwas tiefer ein ovales Etikett :
BY APPOINTMENT  THE LATE KING GEORG IV

COURVOISIER
Fournisseur brevete
des Cours Etrangeres
The Brandy of Napoleon
COGNAC
Die Flasche hat auf der Rückseite Prägungen:
Federal law forbids sale or re-fill this bottle

Courvoisier
Jarnac  Cognac France.
Ist diese Flasche etwas für einen Sammler oder trinkt man sie lieber selbst?
Danke Uli

Answer
Hello Uli

I am sorry that I do not speak German--but this bottle should be very good.  It would sell in the USA market for about $100.  And if it were mine, I would open it on a special day and drink it with  friends!

The bottle is probably about 50 years old--but the liquid inside hasn't changed much--the alcohol is so high that Cognac doesn't change in the bottle.

I hope this helps you!
