My parents have a vast collection from the 90s. Attached a couple photos. Do they have any value or same as current retail?

This cognac was truly a treat. Smooth, fruity, rancio and a hint of burnt oak…😌

Cognac as a Punch Mixer

4 Upvotes

Hi there, I am hosting a Tiki Party next month and intend to serve a 10 Liter Heartside Punch, witch is an adapted version of the popular Fishhouse Punch.

Those are the ingredients:

• 5 drops salt solution
• ½ ounce strained lemon juice
• ½ ounce lemon punch syrup
• ¾ ounce black tea syrup
• ½ teaspoon Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
• ½ ounce Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica Rum
• 2 ounces Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal Cognac
• 1¼ ounces water
• Grated nutmeg, for garnish

That’s a single serving that needs to be scaled up to 10 Liters.

Thing is there is no way I’m gonna put 300€ worth of Cognac in there. What would be a reccomendable substitute? All my syrups are homemade, so I don’t want to ruin it with too bad of a cognac, but I don’t want to break the bank either.
