Overpriced for what it delivers

I expected more from this Cognac given the price point and the hype around the category. Served in a proper glass at room temperature as recommended. The smooth aftertaste was underwhelming compared to bottles at half the price I've enjoyed.

The premium end of this market has a lot of marketing attached to it that doesn't translate to taste. I'm not saying all expensive Cognac is overrated — I've had transcendent examples — but this particular tier didn't justify the spend for me.
