A single shot of cognac has broken the world record after costing £10,014.
Shot of cognac sells for £10,014
The 40ml serving of Rome de Bellegarde was sold in Hyde Kensington bar, in London, after it was discovered in the cellars of the cognac house Jean Fillioux, the Metro reported.
It is believed that the pricey alcohol was the very first blend created by Fillioux in 1894 and an official Guinness World Records adjudicator as well as cognac connoisseurs were invited to experience the rare beverage, where it broke the price of a single shot sold.
Rome de Bellegarde founder David Smeralda said: ''We are so excited for Rome de Bellegarde to be available for the first time in over 120 years.
''Since its discovery in 2004 this incredible batch has been destined to be enjoyed by those that love and cherish truly pure cognac.''
The previous Guinness World Record for the most expensive cognac sold was for 68,000 Hong Kong dollars (£7,072) at the Inter Continental Hong Kong, China, back in 2016.
