ANKENY – (April 4, 2000) – The Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division has listed a new product that is sure to create an interest among retailers and consumers.

This spirit, “L’Esprit de Courvoisier” is a Lalique crystal decanter containing an exquisite blend of old and rare cognacs from many of the finest vintages in history, some nearly 200 years old. Two bottles arrived last week.
According to Courvoisier, “L’Esprit” is exceptionally complex and full bodied and possesses a remarkable smoothness, with flavors ranging from cigar leaves, coffee notes and sweet notes such as prune, dried apricot, honey and fruitcake.

The retail price for a .750 ml bottle is expected to be in the $5,000.00 range plus sales tax and the 5¢-bottle deposit.
