If you've ever wondered what it would be like to sip on a luxurious cognac like the one Jay-Z sips, you're in luck. D'usse Cognac is a flirty and flavourful bouquet of rich woody notes, cinnamon spice, creamy almond and delicate flowers, with a sweet finale of honey and dried fruits. It's often seen in the hands of the rich and famous, which is why in December 2021, Jay-Z was ready to pony up an eye-opening $1.5 billion to purchase his half of Bacardi's D'USSÉ cognac!
Now you can experience this exquisite liquor for yourself without haing to break the bank! A 375ml bottle of D'usse Cognac usually costs between $25 – $50 at Liquor & Wine Warehouse. That means that if you buy a case of 6 bottles (375ml each), you'll pay around $59.99 per bottle instead of the usual price of $81.99 per bottle – quite a substantial saving!
D'usse Cognac has been crafted by Maison Ferrand since 1795 using only Ugni Blanc grapes from the Grande Champagne region; these grapes are renowned for their floral aromas and smooth texture. The Cognac is aged between 4 – 12 years in French oak barrels before being blended into its unique flavor profile.
So why not treat yourself (or someone special) with a case of this luxurious liquor? Whether you're looking for something to share at a gathering or just want something special for yourself, D'usse Cognac will make any occasion extra special!

The two entities have been in a 50-50 ownership of the brand since 2011 and Jay-Z has been heavily promoting it by mentioning it in his songs.
