$4000 Bottle of Cognac?

I went to International Market off of Cleary in Metairie the other day and noticed a bottle of cognac for $3999.99. Sorry, I didn't take note of what kind. Who the hell would buy that?
I actually asked the cashier about it and she said they sold one a year ago to a father giving a wedding gift to his daughter.
They also had several other bottles with similar prices. I don't see how they can justify tying up so much money in inventory and only sporadic sales.

I'm guessing it was a bottle of Louis Xlll. I've had it many times but I'd never buy it. It's fine though I'd rather just get a bottle of XO for 130 bucks. Not worth it at all. Most of the people I know who buy it get it just because it's expensive and to show off.

If it was a bottle of Remy Martin King Louis XIII for $4000, that's a ripoff. The last time I purchased a bottle for a customer it was under $3000. If you've ever handled the bottle's packaging, you'll know why it's expensive. The case holding the bottle mechanically slides open after you unbuckle the clasp/lock. Also the cognac is bottled in a Baccarat Crystal Decanter. The attention to detail and quality is top notch, that's why I believe people with disposable income purchase these expensive things.

I would buy it and pour it all into a half drunk 2 liter of Mountain Dew and party hardy

Maybe that's why they can afford to stock it.

Costco has several liquor items (cant remember which) that are multi thousands of dollars

My buddy bought a pour at a wedding because it was the last shot and they let him keep the bottle (which can sell for 100+). I had a taste and was pretty underwhelmed. Then again I'm not a cognac guy so I have no reference or idea what the frick I'm talking about.
