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.

Momoya and the Art of the Sushi Dinner
Food, Lunch, Meal

An epically long procession of jewel-like courses at an omakase counter as serene as a Zen altar scratches a certain itch once in a while. A whiz-bang sushi dinner laden with wagyu, caviar, and edible gold at restaurants like Nobu or Zuma hits the spot on occasion. But usually, I don’t need sushi as sacrament or sushi as spectacle. I just want my fix of raw fish, vinegared rice, and sake. Quick, delicious, and filling—the type of dinner Momoya does with aplomb.
