Overproof Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Relatively new cognac by Bacardi, I think. Have any of my American friends tried this yet? It doesn't seem to be available out here in Australia. Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 It is Bacardi. Product was launched back in 2012 https://cognacs.wordpress.com/2014/06/08/bacardi-launched-dusse-xo-at-275-in-11-states-in-the-usa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The VSOP seems reasonably priced but the XO is much more expensive than similar grades by Remy Martin, Martell, Hennessy and Courvoisier. Is it more costly to fund Jay Z's advertising of this brand? Otherwise, I can't understand what Bacardi are thinking in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but the brand was launched a few years before he jumped on board as an ambassador for it so I can't comment on the XO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was a little strange but I'm certanly interested in trying the VSOP if I can get my hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 so it is actually otard and bacardi are presumably just distributors (unless they have purchased otard). otard are quality cognac producers but if that tosser jay z has anything to do with it, i would not tip it in my toilet.

Ken Gargett Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good info, Ken. Don't hate on Jay Z haha another much loved member of the forum told me of a personal encounter with the bloke. i'll leave the story to him. suffice to say, that as far as he goes, i have as little respect for him as it is possible to have for another human.
