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.
