Created to celebrate the 2025 Lunar New Year, The LOUIS XIII Limited Edition Lunar New Year Coffret begins like all of the renowned offerings from this iconic brand. The included eaux-de-vie  (over 1,200) come from Grande Champagne vineyards and are matured between 40 and 100 years.

The result is an exceptional cognac filled with flavors of pipe tobacco, figs, caramel, candied fruits, ginger, orange peel, honey, saffron, and vanilla. The finish is a mix of toffee, candied orange peels, oaky wood, and a lightly spicy final flourish.

But it’s not the liquid inside we’re writing about today. It’s the unique Lunar New Year Coffret that we’re interested in. Designed by well-known Chinese artist Liu Li Hong, it’s artfully decorated with a gold snake along with a blooming Winter Jasmine. This is the second LOUIS XIII Limited Edition Lunar New Year Coffret and one that is sure to be a must-have for collectors.

Where can I buy it?

Like all expressions from Louis XIII, the Lunar New Year Coffret is extremely limited. Also, if you want to add this bottle to your collection, you can’t simply stroll into your neighborhood liquor store. This limited-edition expression is only available by contacting the Louis XIII shop by emailing them at conciergerie.us@louisxiii-cognac.com for the suggested price of $4.200.

There are unique whiskeys, and then there is Blue Run Spirits’ newest expression. That’s because this boundary-pushing whiskey began as a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. Nothing seems strange there, right? Well, things got a little wacky when the distillers decided to finish it not on rum, cognac, or even port casks. Instead, they opted for ex-gin barrels.
Blue Run Spirits Glimmer

It’s called Blue Run Spirits Glimmer, and this 103.2-proof whiskey is perfect for both fans of sweet corn-centric bourbon and floral, piney gin. The first barrel-finished bourbon from the distillery began as the brand’s micro-batch, barrel proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
