Ranjeeta Dutt McGroarty, an Assamese origin woman from Guwahati, has created a new Guinness World Record after she bought one single shot of cognac for a whopping £10,014 (which is approximately over Rs 9.20 lakhs)!

Yes, a 40ml serve of Rome De Bellegarde Cognac that was sold for £10,014 has set a new world record!

The 40ml serving of the rare and super-rich alcohol was sold at Hyde Kensington Bar on Wednesday night, where Ranjeeta Dutt McGroarty, founder and director of Trinity Natural Gas had the pleasure of tasting the drink.

“Ranjeeta is a graduate from Handique Girls College in Guwahati, who pursued her degree in Mass Communication from MS University in Baroda after which she attended London School of Economics, city University London (Reuters Scholarship) and Cambridge UK,” said Rituraj Dutt, (Ranjeeta’s brother) exclusively to G Plus.

The drink was not only the most expensive single shot of cognac, but is also one of the oldest cognac to be discovered in the world.

Cognac enthusiasts and industry experts were invited to the event to witness the very first pour, alongside an official adjudicator from the Guinness World Records.
