Turning 50 is a milestone for anyone, but if you're a billionaire heavyweight such as Jay Z then toasting this milestone has to be done in style and what better way then with an exclusive limited edition cognac made just for you!

Grammy award winning rapper, entrepreneur and husband of Beyonce, Jay Z, has commissioned a limited edition of premium D'ussé Cognac, a brand he jointly owns with Bacardi. The rare $5,000 bottles of D’Ussé 1969 Anniversaire is cognac bottled from a single barrel in France that has been maturing in the centuries-old cellars of Château de Cognac, and unlike most Cognacs, which are a blend of eaux-de-vie, this one is not only from a single French oak tierçon, but is from a single eau-de-vie.

Only 50 numbered bottles will be released which Jay Z will give away to close friends and family, bit don't despair as next years fans can get a taste when a limited number of bottles of 150 to 200 diamond-shaped crystal decanters will be launched, each resting on a custom display pedestal. Priced at $5,000 each
Jay-Z is no stranger to the spirits market he is also the full owner of premium Champagne brand Armand de Brignac.
