Recently, we wrote about how single malt Scotch distillery Tamdhu was releasing a limited-edition whisky to pay tribute to The Year of the Snake. Now, we learn that iconic cognac house Rémy Martin is launching its own Year of the Snake-themed expression.

The House of Rémy Martin is one of the most well-known cognac brands in the world. It only made sense that this innovative and exciting brand would collaborate with renowned Chinese artist Huang Yuxing to interpret its Lunar New Year Collection, which was created to mark the Year of the Snake. Specifically, the contemporary artist has created a new artwork called “Majestic Serpentine,” which inspired the collaborative series between Yuxing and the cognac brand.

The Rémy Martin x Huang Yuxing gift collection contains collectible, limited-release Year of the Snake-inspired versions of Rémy Martin XO and Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal. The gift boxes for each expression feature Yuxing’s new zodiac imagery.

Rémy Martin XO itself is a complex, award-winning cognac that begins with a nose of plums, candied figs, orange peels, tropical fruits, jasmine, honey, and other enveloping aromas. The palate is loaded with notes of candied orange peels, figs, toasted hazelnuts, nutmegs, wildflower honey, cocoa beans, ginger, and wintry spices. This is an exceptional cognac that you’ll want to sip neat on an unseasonably cool evening while you enjoy the artistry of the box it came in.

Bowmore is releasing a rare whisky that was distilled in 1968.

The worlds of luxury and single malt whisky are colliding once again with the release of Bowmore ARC-54, whisky five decades in the making. This timeless expression is the second and final release in the famed Islay distillery’s ARC series with Aston Martin.
Bowmore ARC-54

This rare single malt whisky is bottled in a handblown decanter that was inspired by the design of the Aston Martin Valkyrie.  But while that’s spectacular in its own right, it’s the liquid inside that we’re most interested in. Distilled in 1968, it first matured for 54 years in second-fill European oak sherry butts and third-fill American oak hogsheads in the distillery’s No.1 vaults. Then the two whiskies were married together for fifteen months with a ratio of 61.8% European oak aged spirit and 38.2% American oak aged spirit.
