The sale concludes with a small selection of fine spirits, namely Cognac and Kweichow Moutai. With vintages dating back to the early 19th Century, highlights come in the form of Cognac from famed Maison Lhéraud, known for their high quality and exceptional old vintages. The standout bottle from this collection is a pre-phylloxera Grande Champagne Cognac from 1802, one of the earliest known vintages from Lhéraud, alongside the 1820, 1900 and 1914 vintages, the latter presented in magnum (1.5L) format, perfect for a celebratory occasion. Also featured is a bottle of Louis XIII Black Pearl, a limited edition of only 786 bottles blended from very old eaux-de-vie and finished in a single, century-old tierçon, highly sought-after by collectors and connoisseurs. Aside from Cognac, several bottles of "Sun Flower" Kweichow Moutai are offered. Made exclusively for export up to the early 1980s. Many of the bottles in this sale feature Italian tax strips and import labels, and are thought to date from the early 1970s. Finally, two bottles of Kweichow Five Star Moutai (3 Major Revolution) complete the sale, with the year '1981' printed at the bottom of the back label.
