Has anyone had this? Is it worth the 1K plus?

Yes, and yes, but that's highly dependent on your level of appreciation for good wine/liquor. If you've never had any other super high end liquors, not just cognac's, but all types. If you can compare the Louie to some other drinks, you'll be able to enjoy exactly how good it is. If you do buy it, try to find a Asian specialty food store. Vietnamese buy high priced cognacs like you wouldn't believe, and they sell them a lot cheaper at those stores.

My recomendation is that if you're not a very serious cognac drinker would be to stay away from the Louie. 1400 is a lot for a bottle that you will likely get very little mileage out of. Thats 7 $200 of liquor. You're looking at a couple very good bottles of scotch and some damn fine cognacs.

But take my advice lightly, the center-piece of my bar is a $1K bottle of Tiger Penis Liquor. So...

Your 1K would be better spent on this:

Must Have List
---------------------
Gin - Boodles (Tanqueray for those who mix)
Cognac - Hennessy (Christian Bros. for those who mix or call it Brandy)
Vodka - Stolichnaya and Absolut (Smirnoff for mixers)
Whiskey - Jack, Dickell, Beam, Turkey, Bushmills, ...
Tequila - El Toro (Cuervo for mixers)

Tanqueray does make good gin and tonics.

Re: Building a Bar what should i get?
 

No. 10 is good mixed or straight. I haven't had the reg. stuff in a while.

Eight won't do; I had chili last night.

Re: Building a Bar what should i get?
 

I've never had anything but the regular, and always drink it with tonic, not straight. What's the difference between the 10 and the regular?
