Frequently Asked Questions — Prestige Cognac Singapore

What is prestige cognac?

Prestige cognac is the summit of the category: blends of rare, decades-old eaux-de-vie drawn from a house's most precious reserves, usually presented in crystal decanters and made in limited quantities. These cognacs — Rémy Martin Louis XIII, Hennessy Paradis and Richard, and L'Or de Jean Martell — sit above the XO grade and are reserved for milestone occasions, fine gifting and collecting rather than everyday drinking. The spirit inside is often aged anywhere from forty to over a hundred years, giving extraordinary depth, mellowness and the prized aged note known as rancio. At The Liquid Collection, prestige cognac runs from Martell Single Cru bottlings at $438 SGD to the Louis XIII Black Pearl at $28,888 SGD, with white-glove handling on every order.

What is Rémy Martin Louis XIII and why is it so expensive?

Louis XIII is Rémy Martin's flagship prestige cognac, first created in 1874 and widely regarded as one of the finest spirits in the world. Each decanter holds a blend of up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from Grande Champagne, the most prized cru of the Cognac region, aged between 40 and 100 years in centuries-old tierçon casks of Limousin oak. Because the youngest spirit is already four decades old, a single decanter represents the work of several generations of cellar masters, which — together with the hand-crafted Baccarat crystal decanter — explains the price. At The Liquid Collection, the Louis XIII Classic Decanter is $3,888 SGD, with the rare Black Pearl edition at $28,888 SGD. It is meant to be sipped slowly, neat, on the most significant occasions.

What is Hennessy Paradis?

Hennessy Paradis is one of the great prestige cognacs, a blend of rare eaux-de-vie drawn from Hennessy's deepest reserves, some of them over a century old, selected by the house's master blender. It is celebrated for its silky texture and a profile of dried flowers, candied fruit, honey, spice and rancio that unfolds slowly over a very long finish. Presented in an elegant decanter, it is a benchmark gift for a major celebration. At The Liquid Collection, Hennessy Paradis is stocked at $1,398 SGD for the 70cl, alongside a Year of the Horse 2026 Lunar New Year edition, a zodiac miniatures collection and rare artist-collaboration bottlings. It sits below the even rarer Hennessy Richard in the house hierarchy.

What is Hennessy Richard?

Hennessy Richard is the pinnacle of the Hennessy range, a tribute to the house's founder Richard Hennessy and a blend of the rarest and oldest eaux-de-vie held in the cellars, some dating back generations. It is exceptionally rare, made in tiny quantities, and presented in a hand-crafted Baccarat crystal decanter, making it as much an heirloom object as a spirit. The flavour is profoundly complex and mellow, with layers of dried fruit, spice, leather, honey and deep rancio. At The Liquid Collection, Hennessy Richard is stocked at $7,888 SGD. It is a collector's piece and a once-in-a-lifetime gift, intended for the most special occasions and unhurried, ceremonial sipping.

How many prestige cognacs does The Liquid Collection stock?

The Liquid Collection stocks 16 prestige-tier cognacs, priced from $438 to $28,888 SGD. The selection spans three of the four great houses: Rémy Martin with the Louis XIII Classic Decanter and the rare Black Pearl; Hennessy with Paradis, Richard and several zodiac and artist editions; and Martell with L'Or de Jean Martell, the Cohiba collaboration and Single Cru bottlings from Grande Champagne and Borderies. Several are highly collectible Lunar New Year and limited artist releases. Because these are high-value bottles, each order is handled with care and authenticity assurance. All are available for free islandwide delivery in Singapore, and the team is on hand to advise on selection and gifting.

What is the difference between XO and prestige cognac?

XO and prestige cognac differ in age, rarity and intent. XO, or Extra Old, requires the youngest eau-de-vie to be aged at least ten years and is the top of the standard grades, made for fine sipping at prices from a few hundred dollars. Prestige cognac sits above the official grades entirely: it draws on a house's oldest and rarest reserves, often forty to a hundred years old, in strictly limited quantities and luxury crystal decanters, with prices from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. XO is something you open and enjoy; prestige cognac is usually collected, gifted or saved for a landmark occasion. The Liquid Collection stocks both, so you can move from the XO tier up to bottles like Louis XIII and Hennessy Paradis.

Is prestige cognac a good collectible?

Prestige cognac is among the most collectible of all spirits, because the bottles combine genuinely rare, decades-old liquid with limited production and iconic presentation. Decanters such as the Baccarat crystal vessel of Louis XIII can outlast the spirit inside and are often kept as display pieces, and zodiac, vintage and artist editions are made in small numbers that appeal to collectors. That said, The Liquid Collection sells these as fine spirits to be enjoyed and gifted, not as financial instruments, and any resale value depends on condition, provenance and demand. For collectors, keeping the original packaging, certificates and decanter in good order matters. The team can advise on the rarer editions and handle these high-value bottles with appropriate care.

How should prestige cognac be served and gifted?

Prestige cognac should be served neat, at room temperature, in a tulip-shaped crystal glass that concentrates its aromas, and sipped slowly — a great bottle like Louis XIII can evolve in the glass for over an hour. Never chill it or use it in cocktails; the point is the complexity of the aged spirit. As a gift, presentation matters: these bottles arrive in their crystal decanters and luxury cases, and a personal note about the occasion adds meaning. They suit milestone birthdays, weddings, major business moments and Lunar New Year, which is why The Liquid Collection carries several zodiac and CNY editions. For corporate gifting or special presentation, the team can assist on WhatsApp at +65 9680 5856.

What are the zodiac and Lunar New Year prestige editions?

Zodiac and Lunar New Year editions are limited releases that dress prestige cognac in artwork themed to the Chinese zodiac, made for the festive gifting season and prized by collectors. At The Liquid Collection these include Hennessy Paradis Year of the Horse 2026 at $1,988 SGD, the Hennessy Paradis Set of 12 Miniatures Zodiac Collection at $2,888 SGD, the Rémy Martin Louis XIII CNY 2026 at $4,288 SGD, and rare artist collaborations such as Hennessy Paradis Year of the Dragon and Year of the Rabbit, alongside the Year of the Tiger. Martell's L'Or de Jean Martell also appears in a zodiac Rabbit assemblage. These are made in small quantities, so availability is limited; contact the team to check current stock before ordering.
