The Only Thing in Florida Colder Than the Restaurant AC Is This New Bottle of Cognac

Louis XIII's new Black Pearl doesn't just arrive in a bottle — it arrives with its own weather system. The cognac comes housed in a dedicated climate case engineered to hold it at precisely 55.4 degrees, no more, no less, matching the exact temperature Remy Martin maintains in one of the cellars where the spirit actually ages. It's the kind of detail that reads differently depending on where you're pouring it: in Miami it plays as engineering, in Palm Beach it plays as pedigree, and in Naples it probably just plays as common sense, since climate control down here is a year-round preoccupation whether or not there's cognac involved. The rest of us set the thermostat to 72 and call it close enough.
