D’USSÉ XO Cognac proudly presents a limited-edition Lunar New Year gift box in celebration of the Year of the Dragon. Maître de Chai, Michel Casavecchia, meticulously hand-selects the rarest eaux-de-vie — some of which have rested for years in the cellars of the Chateau de Cognac — to craft the unique blend of D’USSÉ XO Cognac. Aged a minimum of ten years, the eaux-de-vie rests in French oak barrels to ensure the utmost complexity and depth in flavor. D’USSÉ XO Cognac delivers rich notes of ripe blackberry and apricot, layered with hints of dark chocolate and walnut, culminating in an exceptionally balanced finish. D’USSÉ XO is best enjoyed neat but can also be the delicious key ingredient in many premium cocktails.

Elegant and sophisticated. The Martell Noblige cognac is the perfect combination of strength and smoothness.

A superbly stylish cognac whose name refers to the old French saying, ‘noblesse oblige’ (nobility carries obligation). The bottle’s contemporary design carries strong cues of elegance and sophistication.

In 1870, Maurice Hennessy, a 4th-generation member of the Hennessy family, asked the Master Blender Emile Fillioux to use long-aged eaux-de-vie to create a special blend for sharing with family and friends. 

More than 150 years later, Hennessy's powerful, balanced "Extra Old" blend remains the cognac of choice for sharing with one's inner circle. A moment heightened by an exceptional limited edition and collectible gift box designed by artist Yang Yongliang to celebrate the Year of the Dragon.

Bringing a childhood memory of a dragon to life through the magic of digital technology let Yang Yongliang build a new kind of bridge between past and present.

Sharing memories is an essential part of gathering and making the most of joyful moments, particularly during the New Year. For Yang Yongliang, using contemporary technology to bring mythical creatures to life wasn't just a way of expressing his own life experience — it is a means of engaging others. "I hope this inspires people to learn more about the historical and cultural contexts of dragons."

Ever true to its heritage, Hennessy V.S.O.P once again revolutionizes the culture of luxury spirits by breaking down the boundaries between past, present, and future. 

To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, tradition meets technology as the mythical creature comes to life on a pure original: revisited in a limited edition by digital artist Yang Yongliang, the V.S.O.P bottle is clad in a vibrant red hue to usher in a prosperous Chinese New Year.

Busnel Calvados Pays d'Auge AOC VSOP is a distinguished apple brandy crafted in the heart of the Pays d'Auge region in Normandy, France. This appellation is recognized for its strict production standards, ensuring only the finest Calvados comes from the region. The VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) designation indicates that the blend of Calvados has been aged for a minimum of four years in oak barrels, although many expressions in the blend may be aged longer. The oak maturation imparts rich, complex flavors and deep amber hues, balancing the crisp freshness of apples with layers of vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice.

Busnel’s commitment to traditional distillation methods, using only apples sourced from the Pays d'Auge and employing double distillation, results in a spirit that captures the essence of the region's apple orchards. On the palate, expect a well-rounded and smooth texture with notes of baked apples, dried fruits, and toasted wood, finishing with a hint of spice and vanilla. It’s perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as an exquisite base for cocktails.

Born out of exceptional craftsmanship, Hennessy's X.O multi-faceted blend is celebrated through an artistic collaboration with the French contemporary artist, Jean-Michel Othoniel.

THE "GLASS VIRTUOSO"
Artist Jean-Michel Othoniel has captivated audiences with his unique aesthetic universe since the late 1980s. His dreamlike works give pride of place to materials with poetic, sensitive properties that amplify light and sublimate sensory structures until they seem to float in mid-air. His recent works explore an architectural dimension and may be found in gardens or historic sites worldwide.

INSPIRED BY THE POWER OF HENNESSY X.O
In reimagining the emblematic Hennessy X.O decanter, Jean-Michel Othoniel drew inspiration from the cognac's extra-long maturation process: it takes years for its precious eaux-de-vie to mature, as the oak barrels in which they are kept gradually facet their aromas and flavors. A testament to the way in which raw materials can be shaped by ancestral savoir-faire and time.
