MIZUBASHO JUNMAI GINJO – 720ML

‘Red’ is a reference to the reddish colour of aged oak. These barrels, crafted from fine-grained oak, have already been used to age eaux-de-vie and have reached the perfect stage of maturity before being selected for this cognac. Martell VSOP Aged in Red Barrels perfectly highlights Martell’s unique ageing style.

Luscious fruit notes fuse deliciously with hints of wood and soft spices from the red barrels, creating an impression of elegance and perfect balance.

For this 2018 Hennessy X.O limited edition, Marc Newson used a subtle gold color with hues of rose, creating a harmonious whole of light, design and assemblage. The result is a dynamic, streamlined variation on the decanter’s iconic shape that breaks with conventions and gives it a wholly ynexpected twist.

As distinctive as a work of modern architecture, the design with the new golden color elements amplifies the blend inside – created originally in 1870. Once Marc Newson had pared the bottle’s shape to its purest form, the designer chose to reprise its traditional decorative motifs – grapes and leaves – in a corrugated relied. These striations are perhaps the most daring design elements ever incorporated on the iconic Hennessy X.O decanter.
