Rémy Martin XO x Atelier Thiery Limited Edition Decanter, $259.99

When one of the world’s most luxurious Cognacs is housed in a crystal decanter with 18-karat gold leaf created by Parisian gilder Atelier Thiery, it’s only fair to say it’s what’s on the inside and on the outside that counts. remymartin.com
