Camus Cognac

I have a bottle of Camus Nepoleon Cognac in a Cannon Cart display. It was acquired more than 30 years ago. How much is it worth?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

This is more difficult than a comparable question about an old vintage of a classic wine whose value can often be quoted based on existing retail or auction prices. Camus has a wide range of Cognacs in current distribution, although it appears the Napoleon is not readily available. The pricing I found online is about $200 per bottle. The age of your bottle might add to this value, but that would be just a guess - and it depends on whether you find someone willing to pay a premium.
