HENNESSY UNLEASH CHINESE NEW YEAR 2025 LIMITED EDITION WITH FASHION DESIGNER SHUTING QIU

THIS CAPTIVATING COLLECTION EMBODIES THE RICH HERITAGE AND TIMELESS ELEGANCE
OF CHINESE BROCADE, BLENDING TRADITION WITH INNOVATION, AND CELEBRATING
ARTISTRY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

(Hong Kong, 3 December, 2024) - Maison Hennessy unleashes a new collaboration for
2025 Chinese New Year, the Year of the Snake, with a vibrant limited-edition
collection by Chinese fashion designer Shuting Qiu.

In a fusion of fashion and luxury, the collection, called ‘Reimagination’, is in honor of
the snake, which is about renewal and positive transformation, leaving behind the
past and embracing new beginnings.

Vibrant, abstract interpretations of a snake writhe across the carafe designs, using
splashes of colour and prints, such as ancient Chinese brocade patterns, to reflect the
texture and scales of the snake body.

Shuting Qiu, who is originally from Hangzhou and now based in Shanghai has drawn
inspiration from her cultural heritage. Looking to the jacquard fabric, Chinese
brocade and embroidery prints traditionally used in clothing and textiles in her
hometown, Qiu has reimagined the symbolic floral motifs and abstract snake scale
patterns to adorn Hennessy's iconic V.S.O.P, X.O and Paradis cognac carafes. With
base colours of red, each bottle tells a unique story, and as a nod to Hennessy’s
heritage, the snake’s movements through the patterns evokes the Charente River in
Cognac.

Taking inspiration from the different blends, Qiu has created three distinct works of art
to dress each of the Hennessy bottles:

The V.S.O.P edition is, as described by Qiu, ‘youthful
and energetic’, covered in red vibrant floral motifs,
alongside a combination of plaid and abstract snake
scale silhouettes, symbolising renewal and legacy. A
blend of four distinct Shuting Qiu-designed patterns
featuring traditional motifs and an abstract representation
of the snake weaves through it. Qiu has
used embossing techniques on the gift box to create
texture, mirroring how she creates texture with sequins
and glitter in her fabric designs.

The X.O edition is bold and dynamic with rich
shades of red, gold and blue, featuring
lozenge shapes inspired by traditional
Chinese motifs and a gold cork. Shuting Qiu’s
interpretation of transformation and renewal
is reflected in the embossed snake design,
which glides across the print. Its recyclable
giftbox features an embossed blend of
patterns with an almost fabric like texture.

CNY25 XO 1

The exclusive limited-edition Paradis is transformed
into a vibrant red masterpiece in honor of the Year
of the Snake. The sculptural snake design is more
abstract and poetic, and embodies elegance and
luxury, by representing a prosperous pursuit towards
newness and paying tribute to the timeless
elegance of Hennessy Paradis. The bottle has a
leather collar, with a soft-to-the-touch-graphic motif
hinting at the awakening of spring, inspired by the
rebirth of a graceful snake shedding its skin.

All are perfect as either a gift during the festive season, or to enjoy whilst seeing in the
new year with friends and family – perhaps served over ice and paired with food, or
as part of celebratory New Year cocktails such as “The Snake’ (recipe in notes to
editors). The carafes even work as a centrepiece in the home.

Says Shuting Qiu about the collaboration: “Hennessy has given me an opportunity to
share my ideas and vision with the world, which is an incredible platform for me, as a
young Chinese designer. The Hennessy carafes are classics, and this is similar to fashion
in that every brand has its classic silhouettes, unique designs and colors. My family and
I often drink Hennessy during Chinese New Year, and my friends drink it when we hang
out - it’s a great versatile drink, but my favourite way to drink it is simply over ice”.

Growing up in Hangzhou, Shuting Qiu attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in
Antwerp, living in Belgium for five years before returning to China. She credits her time
there as having a big influence on work, fusing Chinese and Western elements.

CEO of Hennessy Laurent Boillot added; “Hennessy has a long-lasting connection with
Chinese culture, grounded in 164 years of shared history, also made of rich artistical
collaboration. And it is a great pleasure to welcome Shuting Qiu to embody the spirit
with which we usher Chinese New Year festivities. Her designs epitomize a harmonious
fusion of tradition and contemporary flair, offering with elegance a fitting homage to
our common cultural heritage.”

Hennessy Chinese New Year limited-edition bottles will be available at selected retail
stores in Hong Kong and Macau from December. Embrace the festive spirit and raise
a glass to a year filled with abundance and prosperity.

The 100% Pinot Noir cuvée strikes the right balance of intensity and lightness of aromas resulting in a singular style with its note of flinty minerality and a comfit orange and plum on the palate.   

Just 7,328 bottles of Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs A4 exist, and each is inscribed with its unique number (1 to 7,328) in addition to its disgorgement date, April 20th, 2023, showcasing the rarity, exclusivity and collectability of this ultra-prestige cuvée.

Ardbeg

ARDBEG DAY 2023

(23rd May 2023, Hong Kong) Ardbeg Day is a global celebration of all things, with festivities set to take place at the distillery and across the globe on Saturday 3 June this year, Ardbeg will mark the event by releasing an experimental Limited Edition whisky, Ardbeg Heavy Vapours.

1

For the first time ever at Ardbeg its whisky has been distilled without a purifier – the apparatus on the still responsible for maintaining Ardbeg’s unrivalled balance between extreme peat and floral fruitiness. This creative experiment by Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, has allowed the heaviest and untamed vapours to rise up the still during the distillation process, before being captured, matured and bottled. On the nose, intense and aromatic smoke rises with hints of sweetness. On the palate, surges of bittersweetness disturb ashy coal dust, peppermint and cardamom, before clouds of dark chocolate and eucalyptus roll into disguise Ardbeg’s iconic balance.

Ardbeg’s Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, commented: “A missing purifier is unprecedented for Ardbeg. This experiment was something I’ve always imagined trying – what would happen to the flavour and character of Ardbeg as we know and love it, by distilling in this unique way? Well, it’s now time for Ardbeg fans to find out; this is a full-blown dram where Ardbeg’s exalted balance has been disrupted in the most fantastic of ways ¬– a truly captivating dram.”

1

The expression’s unusual distillation process and resulting flavour has been brought to life in the accompanying graphic novel created by celebrated comic artist and illustrator, Dilraj Mann. The plot follows Agent 46 (AKA Jackie Thomson, Ardbeg Visitor Centre Manager and Committee Chair) – a plucky interplanetary detective on a quest to locate the elusive purifier and restore Ardbeg’s signature balance, available on YouTube

June 2023 - Gathered around the Topic of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Future Green invited Audrey Onolfo from Château Galoupet to the stage. Upon discovering that packaging is responsible for 40% of carbon emissions in the wine industry, Château Galoupet embarked on a mission to create luxury packaging whilst prioritizing sustainability. Its bottle, which is now available across Hong Kong, is around 270g lighter than the average wine bottle. With embossed estate artwork rather than printing and gluing paper and a wax finish instead of aluminum, each element of the design has a sustainability-focused backstory. Even the bottle itself is made using 70% recycled glass that provides natural UV protection. Furthermore, consumers can pinpoint the origins and journey of each packaging element on Château Galoupet’s fully transparent sourcing website.

Dom Ruinart 2010 Launch in Hong Kong

In November 9th & 10th, we celebrated the launch of Dom Ruinart 2010 at Zest by Konishi with trade partners, VIPs and media partners.

The 2010 vintage is a winemaking turning point: this cuvée brings back cork during the ageing process, together with 10 years of maturation and the manual disgorgement of each bottle. With 100% Chardonnay from exceptional terroirs, mostly Grand Cru, Dom Ruinart 2010 is vibrant & concentrated with great aromatic intensity and a fresh finish enhanced by an elegant bitterness. To celebrate the launch of Dom Ruinart 2010, we are also unveiling a new Second Skin Eco-Packaging Design, the “Chalk Wrap”.

The Dom Ruinart 2010 with its Chalk Wrap Eco-packaging is now available in Hong Kong at most of the off-trade channels.

Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2010 named world’s best champagne

At Maison Ruinart, we are proud to announce that our prestige cuvée Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2010 has been awarded “Supreme World Champion”, "Best Champagne" and "Best French Sparkling Wine" at the 2022 Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships!

This award pays tribute to the visionary spirit of the people who contribute, over time, to the excellence of our wines, from the vineyard to the cellars.

The 2010 vintage, entirely composed of Chardonnay Grands Crus, is the most accomplished expression of a great Blanc de Blancs. Born from nature, elevated over time, Dom Ruinart 2010 is the result of major oenological changes: the cork draw, bringing even more complexity to the wine, and the return of manual disgorgement.

JOHNNIE WALKER CELEBRATES THE FAMOUS GLASGOW “GHOST” DISTILLERY OF PORT DUNDAS FOR THE FIFTH RELEASE OF GHOST AND RARE

Johnnie Walker, the world’s No. 1 Scotch Whisky1, announces the fifth release in the award-winning2Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare series of limited editions.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas explores the character of exceptional and rare whiskies from one of the world’s most famous Grain Whisky distilleries, the Glasgow “ghost” distillery of Port Dundas.

This renowned distillery, nestled on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, shipped its distinct Scotch from Glasgow to ports across the world for nearly 200 years. The whisky blending powerhouse eventually grew to become a known for its distinctive sweet and delicate Grain character before it closed in 2010.

The Johnnie Walker team of expert whisky makers, led by Johnnie Walker Master Blender Dr Emma Walker, handpicked the most distinctive expressions of maturing whisky from Port Dundas for this new limited edition.

It is the first Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare release from Emma, who has worked in the Johnnie Walker team for more than a decade and who took on the prestigious role of Johnnie Walker Master Blender at the beginning of 2022.

Emma says: “Port Dundas was, in its day, one of the finest Grain Whisky distilleries in the world and the rare expressions that we have chosen from our reserves are some of the most distinctive it has ever produced - their slow maturation allowing their sweet and delicate Grain character to blossom.

“Its incredible character inspired us to create something truly extraordinary that pays proper tribute to the whisky makers of this storied Glasgow distillery.”

The Johnnie Walker Ghost and Rare series of special editions is crafted using irreplaceable ‘ghost’ whiskies and other incredibly rare expressions from the unparalleled Johnnie Walker reserves used to create the award-winning Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

To complement the fragrant wood spice character of Port Dundas, Emma and her team hand-selected two other ‘ghost’ whiskies from the distilleries of Cambus and Brora3 before combining these with other very rare Scotch from five iconic distilleries - crafting something truly exceptional.

Creamy, wood notes from Port Dundas embrace the vanilla and soft smoke from the “ghost” whiskies of Cambus and original stocks of Brora. Other very rare whiskies from Cameronbridge and Glenkinchie reveal notes of spiced apples alongside Clynelish, Dailuaine and Auchroisk, bringing aromas of peaches and berries.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas follows the release of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Pittyvaich (2021), Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Glenury Royal (2019), Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Ellen (2018) and Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Brora (2017). Each edition in the series offers a fleeting opportunity to savour the depth of character of whiskies from distilleries whose spirit lives on in their dwindling stocks.

JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL CITIES OF THE FUTURE IMAGINES A NEW TOMORROW… 200 YEARS FROM NOW

JOHNNIE WALKER, THE WORLD’S NUMBER ONE SCOTCH WHISKY1,LAUNCHES JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL CITIES OF THE FUTURE 2220.

In 2020 Johnnie Walker celebrated its bicentenary, now the brand has looked to the future to create an inspired vision of tomorrow - journey with Johnnie Walker and walk through a mind-expanding utopian vision of world cities 200 years from now.

An innovative collaboration with renowned digital artist Luke Halls sees the whisky brand taking a bold step into the future. Exploring themes of geoengineering, AI empowerment and physics-defying technologies, this new limited-edition design for Johnnie Walker Blue Label reimagines a thriving and vibrant future society that has transformed cityscapes and skylines, embracing new scientific developments to push the limits of what’s possible. These intricate illustrations represent the remarkable depth of flavour, rarity and two centuries of craft that’s found in every bottle of the velvety smooth Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

Luke’s interpretation of Mars 2220 envisions humanity as a multi-planetary civilisation with bustling colonies on the red planet.

After 200 years, a once-dead world now teems with life and new energy, enabled by the second generation of ‘Martian’ colonists. Over a century of terraforming has already begun to bear fruit and the first signs of green life can be seen beyond the geodesic domes the Martians call home. Earth and Moon appear in the skies above - a powerful reminder not only of how far we’ve come, but that by walking forward together, we can achieve anything.

1

Luke, who has worked with some of the world’s most successful artists including Adele, Rihanna, U2 and Beyonce, explains: “The idea of continued collective progress in the world really fires my imagination - I love that Johnnie Walker is so forward-looking in its approach. That’s why thinking about how these cities might look in the future is so interesting to me. What excites me is the chance to bring this to life with the same dedication to craft that the team bring to Johnnie Walker Blue Label.”

“Part of the beauty of Johnnie Walker Blue Label is that the whiskies used to craft this exceptional Scotch have been laid down many years ago, so whisky makers have to look into the future and create a picture of the flavour that people will be enjoying in several decades time – this is an extraordinary skill. I hope my glimpse of the future pays tribute to this expertise.”

Discover a rich world of flavour as you are transported into this world of 2220 by scanning an NFC on the front of the bottle with your smartphone.

Emma Walker, Johnnie Walker Master Blender, says: “The Johnnie Walker journey is 200 years in the making, since those early days when our founder John Walker first threw open the doors to a small grocery shop in rural Scotland in 1820, we’ve always looked to the future with a defiant optimism and a firm belief in progress.

“Like those who came before us, we stride forward with eyes firmly on the horizon, moving toward a future teeming with endless possibilities and a belief that we can, together, create a better tomorrow. Luke’s illustrations are the exciting embodiment of this ideal.”

The rare whiskies, intricate craft and innovative collaboration of Johnnie Walker and Luke Halls, make this limited-edition design Johnnie Walker Blue Label the perfect gift to give to the ones who keep walking.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch Cities of the Future 2220 Mars Edition (40% abv, 750ml), suggested retail price of HK$1,920, is available at all major retailers in Hong Kong.

Based on the House belief that highly functional packaging can be transformed into a unique, desirable object as an integral part of our art de vivre, these new products pay tribute to the House’s love for beautiful and functional objects., re-edited with sustainability in mind. “The 250th anniversary of the House is an opportunity to share with the whole world our incredible heritage around the Clicquot culture and its exceptionally rich know-how and design,” says Jean-Marc Gallot, CEO of Veuve Clicquot. The collection, like all Veuve Clicquot products moving forward, has been designed to last and is now plastic free, 100% recyclable, with greenhouse gas emissions way inferior to the previous editions (reedition of the Clicquot Ice Jacket accounts for - 96% GHG), in alignment with Veuve Clicquot commitments to reduce by 50% its emissions by 2030.

This collection is all about evolving, progressing, and reflecting, drawing inspiration from an historic heritage for a modern and contemporary vision.” explains Carole Bildé, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer.

The Clicquot Fridge: This Veuve Clicquot collaboration with SMEG is inspired by the refrigerators of the 1950s, it embodies the House’s creative spirit and its ability to reinvent everyday objects, transforming them into objects of desire. Re-edited in collaboration with the pioneering industrial designer SMEG, the Clicquot Fridge is now plastic-free and constructed in recyclable tin, with a removable wedge made from 100% sugarcane waste so that it can be upcycled as a designer box. The Clicquot Fridge keeps any bottle chilled for up to two hours and is infinitely recyclable.

VEUVE CLICQUOT PRESENTS “BOLD CONVERSATIONS” IN HONG KONG EMBOLDENING SUCCESSIVE GENERATIONS OF AUDACIOUS FEMALE LEADERS

Today more than ever, Veuve Clicquot has a concrete role to play and a real societal contribution to make by supporting women entrepreneurs. The brand hosted the “Bold Conversations by Veuve Clicquot” in Hong Kong this June, through casual and interactive conversations to share about the courageous story behind the success of the brand. The brand invited remarkable female entrepreneurs who embody the Maison’s founder’s daring spirit and business savoir-faire to join the brand in sharing about their paths to accomplishments, believing that through sharing one’s inspirations as well as experiences, we can uplift each other in the community.

1

In 2019, the Maison reinforced its support to female entrepreneurs by launching an international program - Bold by Veuve Clicquot, designed to improve inclusion, impact and visibility for female entrepreneurs. Built through key events across the world all year long, this program supports these women and gives them a voice, encouraging future generations to be even more audacious.

1

This time, the guest speaker panel include:

• Marisa Yiu, Director and Founding Partner of ESKYIU; Co-founder, Lead Curator and Executive Director of Design Trust

• May Chow, Chef Founder of Little Bao Limited

• Juliette Gimenez, CEO and Co-Founder of Goxip Group

The program engages women of multiple paths and achievements to share about their experience on starting their business. Thus, around moments of discussion and inspiration, it allows those who hear about their stories to better understand the often glossed-over obstacles and missteps behind the limelight of success. Veuve Clicquot aspires to accentuate the impact of women who inspire others through their journey, whose names will become synonymous with boldness, so as to nurture role models of today and tomorrow.

From a survey done by Veuve Clicquot on women and entrepreneurship in Hong Kong, it is found that more than one-third of Hong Kong's women and 43% of men consider themselves entrepreneurs. Additionally, Hong Kong has one of the lowest entrepreneurship gender gaps, among the countries measured – the number of male versus female entrepreneurs is quite balanced. Speakers shared about what led them to taking that first step and setting up their own business and some challenges they’ve experienced as a woman in business during their overall career.

Johnnie Walker

GIVE THE GIFT OF PRECIOUS DEPTH UNDER THE FULL MOON

As an extension of the previous limited-edition gift box paying tribute to loved ones, Johnnie Walker has curated the Johnnie Walker Blue Label x TAXA Limited Edition Whisky Glass Gift Set once again for this Mid-Autumn Festival with urban artist TAXA and glassmaker Dartington Crystal.

1

The limited-edition gift set will be offered upon purchasing a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label and the gift box houses two of Dartington Crystal’s handcrafted crystal whisky glasses to pair with the vanilla, honey, pepper and lingering smokiness of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

When customizing the artwork for the gift box, award-winning Japanese artist TAXA specifically sought to incorporate the elements of both family reunion and festive gifts. TAXA explains, “The pattern of the circle is used extensively, such as the circle at the centre embodying the full moon and mirroring the shape of a whisky glass. This represents family reunion and the joy of sharing, mid-autumn mooncakes, and the circular motion of dragon dances. This is a continuation of the meaning behind my previous gift box – an artistic representation of a gift that comes from the heart.”

Besides the festive elements, the flowers and bees on the bottle signify the distinctive sweetness and rich aroma of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, while the dynamic swirls of clouds and smoke embody the smoky flavour of the spirit.

Share the love and joy of this artful collaboration with your loved ones beneath the full moon and create memorable moments. The Johnnie Walker Blue Label x TAXA Limited Edition Whisky Glass Gift Set will be gifted upon the purchase of a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label from August at all major alcohol retailers in Hong Kong while stock lasts.

ARDBEG GEARS UP FOR A CELEBRATION AS THE DISTILLERY LAUNCHES ITS LATEST PUNK ROCK LIMITED EDITION – ARDCORE

Never mind the barrels, it’s all about the black malt! Ardbeg invites its worldwide fandom to join them for their global Ardbeg Day 2022 celebrations.

經歷過高低起跌的 Ardbeg 酒廠不斷推陳出新,首次以烘烤黑麥芽釀製威士忌,味道層次進一步提昇。Bill Lumsden 博士品評新作為「口感尖銳,宛如咬上尖刺」,辛辣的口感更適合成熟口味。

Ardcore 的搖滾靈感受 Ardbeg 酒廠擁躉不顧一切的熱情所啟發,也融入艾雷島名不經傳的龐克歷史——艾雷島的主要港口 Port Ellen 於 1970 年代曾被戲稱為「PUNK ELLEN」。

Ardbeg 酒廠的釀酒師 Colin Gordon 表示:「今年是我參與的首個實體 Ardbeg Day。我們知道不是每個人都能親身到艾雷島參與慶典,因此我們安排了網上直播,希望所有威士忌愛好者無論在現場抑或家中,都能在 6 月 4 日當日盡情享受、盡情狂歡!」

Ardbeg 酒廠的首席威士忌蒸餾及調酒師 Bill Lumsden 博士形容 Ardcore 為「將『黑心』表露無遺」的一款烈酒。「以烘烤至近乎碳化程度的黑麥芽釀製,木炭的香氣滲出焦糖氣息,八角和黑朱古力的味道衝擊味蕾,必定會吸引一班 Ardbeg 酒廠的忠實擁躉。」

1

From Ardbeg, a Distillery with more ups and downs that a pogoing punk, comes Ardcore. Created with roasted black malt – an unconventional choice, and a first for Ardbeg – this spirit is all about what happens up front, centre-stage. Incinerated to hair-raising levels, the malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described by Dr Bill Lumsden as tasting ‘like biting on a spiky ball’, this devilishly delicious dram is one for the ages.

Inspired by the devil-may-care attitude of Ardbeg’s fans, this dram is bottled for them. Ardcore also draws inspiration from Islay’s little-known punk past, celebrating the characters of ‘PUNK ELLEN’ – the alleged nickname for Islay’s main port, Port Ellen, in the 1970s.

Colin Gordon, Ardbeg’s Distillery Manager, said: “This year will be my first physical Ardbeg Day. We know not everybody can make it to Islay, so we’re delighted to be broadcasting all the day’s antics online too. Whether at the Distillery or at home, we hope lots of you rock up, punked out and ready to party come 4th June!”

Ardbeg’s Head of Distilling and Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, said: “Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve – its black heart! Created with roasted black malt, burnt to hair-raising levels, this spirit is all about substance. Notes of charcoal and sweet smoke make for an in-your-face nose, while potent notes of aniseed and dark chocolate stamp this bottle out as one fit only for the most Ardcore of fans.”

Krug

KRUG PRESENTS THE KRUG STUDIO EXPERIENCE WITH THE RELEASE OF KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE 170ÈME ÉDITION AND THE INTRODUCTION OF KRUG ROSÉ 26ÈME ÉDITION

Every year, the House of Krug honours the dream of one man, Joseph Krug with a new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée, the most generous expression of Champagne. Driven by his understanding that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself, his dream was to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every year, regardless of annual climate variations. Beyond the notion of vintage, Krug Grande Cuvée is always a blend of over 120 plots’ wines individually kept from more than 10 different years. The fullness of flavours and aromas achieved by this careful art of blending would be impossible to express with the wines of a single year.

As of 2017, Krug Grande Cuvée displays its Édition number on the front label. The Édition number identifies a specific creation of Krug Grande Cuvée and corresponds to the number of years in the House of Krug that the founder’s dream has been re-created. This turning point in Krug’s history brings to light the beauty, uniqueness, and collectability of these creations. Today, over one hundred and seventy-five years after Krug Grande Cuvée was first created, the House of Krug is delighted to present Krug Grande Cuvée 170 ème Édition.

Conversely, inspired by the dream of the fifth generation of the House of Krug to conceive a rosé Champagne that did not exist and could be re-created every year, the House of Krug is delighted to present Krug Rosé 26 ème Édition: the 26th creation of Krug Rosé in the history of the House, the 26th year this dream was re-created, and the sixth to feature the Édition number on its front label. This unique Champagne holds the promise of bold and adventurous gastronomic experiences.

A MUSICAL APPROACH TO CHAMPAGNE CREATION

At Krug, each individual plot of vines gives birth to a unique wine that the House keeps separately, following the evolution of its character to achieve the utmost precision and balance at the moment of blending. In musical terms, each plot of vines is a musician and each grape variety, an instrument, while the year is the musical score. This allows Krug’s Cellar Master to identify the wines to compose each year’s creation in the most harmonious way, like a conductor, auditioning musicians from the harvest year, as well as from previous years, who will perform together the symphony of Champagne. This musical masterpiece is called Krug Grande Cuvée, the most generous expression of Champagne, re-created every single year, regardless of climate variations.

KRUG ECHOES LIMITED EDITION: THE KRUG STUDIO EXPERIENCE

The origin of Krug x Music dates back to over a century ago, as love for Music has been the unsung muse for many members of the Krug family. In today’s ever-changing world, the House recognises and embraces its duty to go beyond traditional boundaries, and to connect with Krug Lovers through a universal language that transcends cultures, borders and linguistics; one which can evoke deep sensations at the core of the shared human experience. At Krug, Music is considered the natural tool to forge such a powerful connection with its global community network.

Building on the notion of food pairing and translating this idea into music, Krug invites guests to experience Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition through a Music Pairing. Every year, Krug invites artists to translate their perception of the new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée into music. This year, the House takes the Music Pairing experience to another level with a visual display to complement the tasting.

With the purchase of Krug Echoes Limited Edition, the highly coveted limited edition Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition gift box, Krug Lovers will be able to access The Krug Studio experience, which is curated by multi-talented composer and Krug Lover, Ozark Henry. He explores the act of the creation of Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition, from the Cellar Master’s inspiration to the final performance of 195 highly talented musicians. This immersive, soundsorial journey will open gateways to a new dimension, enhancing each sip and revealing new facets of Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition.

Krug Echoes Limited Edition will be available to purchase in-store and online from 1st June 2022 at Watson’s Wine, ETC Wine, The House of Connoisseur and Avize.

KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE 170ÈME ÉDITION & KRUG ROSÉ 26ÈME ÉDITION

The varying circumstances of the year uniquely shapes each musician’s melody. Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition & Krug Rosé 26ème Édition were crafted around the harvest of 2014, an erratic year in Champagne that oscillated between hot dry spells and cool rainy periods. Vines developed under good conditions, ensuring a generous harvest. The contrasting weather preserved freshness and resulted in great heterogeneity throughout the region, underscoring the importance of the House’s plot-by-plot approach. This musical score gave rise to wines with diverse aromatic expressions.

Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition is a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years, a full orchestra of 195 musicians from 12 different years, with the youngest from 2014. The older and more mature musicians – some of them dating back to 1998 – have been rehearsing in Krug’s cellars over all these years, gaining in depth and resonance. Its final composition is 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay and 11% Meunier. Reserve wines from the House’s extensive library made up 45% of the final blend. The Édition achieved its remarkable expression and elegance over a stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars, and overall, 24 years of careful craftsmanship were needed for the 170th re-creation of the most generous expression of Champagne. At first sight, a light golden colour with fine, vivacious bubbles holds a promise of pleasure. On the nose are the aromas of flowers in full bloom, as well as ripe, dried, and citrus fruits, marzipan, and gingerbread. The palate displays an alluring combination of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche, and honey. This Champagne can be thoroughly enjoyed as an aperitif, paired with Jabugo ham and mature Comté, or served to accompany seafood, Indian or Moroccan food, and desserts such as carrot cake, tarte tatin and cheesecake.

Krug Rosé 26ème Édition is a blend of 28 wines from 7 different years, the youngest from 2014 and the oldest from 2005. Its final composition is 44% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 26% Meunier. Unexpectedly, it best accompanies very savoury dishes – best enjoyed with foie gras, lamb, game, white meat, venison or dishes with spices.

Ruinart Launches the Carte Blanche Dinner Experience In Celebration of Art Basel Hong Kong

As the global sponsor for Art Basel, Maison Ruinart celebrates the opening of the Hong Kong edition, with the Ruinart Carte Blanche Dinner experience in collaboration with Asaya Kitchen at the Rosewood Hotel.

1

The Ruinart Carte Blanche art program encourages artists to take inspiration from Ruinart’s history and conceptualise a contemporary art project that pays tribute to the Maison’s values. For 2022, Carte Blanche artist Jeppe Hein presents the artistic interpretation Right Here, Right Now, placing the viewer at the heart of the terroir of the world’s oldest champagne house. Appealing to our senses and summoning the elements, the Danish-born artist pays homage to both the champagne making process, derived from sun, earth, water and air, and the five senses - taste, smell, touch, hearing and sight - that ground the viewer’s experience.

1

FEASTING FOR THE EYES

Inspired by Jeppe Hein’s Right Here, Right Now, the artistic experience will be translated through the Ruinart Carte Blanche Dinner experience, in collaboration with Asaya Kitchen at the Rosewood Hotel. Connecting the chef and the artist, this multi-layered approach encourages guests to indulge and delight in all of their senses. Conceived from the creative guidelines of Jeppe Hein, from the décor, music and the interactive nature of the dishes, this is a culinary adventure out of normal confines.

Bringing art and gastronomy together, two creative expressions converge in search of taste and emotion. Aligned in their sensibilities for environmentally sustainable practices, Maison Ruinart, Jeppe Hein and Asaya Kitchen unite to create this meaningful moment of responsible epicureanism.

ART BASEL HONG KONG

Concurrently, the Ruinart bar situated in the Art Basel VIP lounge ran for the whole duration of Art Basel, where invited guests are able to enjoy a glass of champagne as a perfect complement to the Art Basel experience.

Johnnie Walker

Give the gift with precious depth

Johnnie Walker Blue Label introduces the limited-edition gift box with glassmaker Riedel and urban artist Taxa.

The finest gifts are given from the depths of the heart and combined with the unparalleled depth of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, the world’s number one Scotch Whisky*, a truly remarkable gift is crafted. Johnnie Walker Blue Label celebrates the unique and complex flavours and has partnered with glassmaker Riedel and urban artist Taxa to create a limited-edition gift box which creates unity between the trio’s pursuit of fine craft.

To capture and magnify the distinctly unique characteristics of the whisky, the beautifully designed gift box houses two of Riedel’s finest glasses carefully selected to pair with Johnnie Walker Blue Label allowing the exceptionally deep whisky to be experienced in two very different ways - one bold, and one harmonious.

A highlight of gift box is the custom artwork by award-winning Japanese artist Taxa. Known for his urban murals taking over walls and buses across Hong Kong. Taxa created this magnificent art piece inspired by Johnnie Walker Blue Label’s unrivalled depth and what gift-giving means to him. He based the artwork around the two concepts of the heart, and the ocean. The artist explains:

“When I think of gifting, it’s important that I do it with thoughts from my heart. The human heart is deep and when I think about that special person, my thoughts reach down to the deepest part. The ocean is also like the human heart, it is deep and ever-changing with different emotions. Just like people, no two waves are alike.”

The striking outline of a heart is at the centre of the piece, whilst within the layers of his art, are symbols of Johnnie Walker’s characteristics and icons such as visual representations of the flavours and aromas expressed with abstract florals and bee. A subtle but distinct glimpse of wood is also used to symbolise the casks which the whisky is aged in, while a silhouette of a pair of faces expresses the depth of a relationship when gifting from the heart. Give the gift of precious depth with this remarkable curation of unparalleled masterpieces.

The original of the art piece created by Taxa will be on display on Aberdeen Street, across from PMQ from 24 May until 24 June, and the limited-edition gift set will be offered upon purchasing 1 bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label from 2 May at all major alcohol retailers in Hong Kong while stock lasts.

*Annual sales reach nearly 14 million units (IWSR, 2020)

The revitalized basketball court is designed by Japanese street artist TAXA, whom now based in Hong Kong, applying blue, peach pink and turquoise as the main tone to show the energy and revolution when the two legendary brands come together. TAXA has also painted a pair of arms on a huge canvas that extends to the edge of the court. It represents the passion for reaching out to the goal on the court, and echoes with the brand’s commitment to seek breakthrough. Elements of Hong Kong are also brought to the court – the arrows at the court boundary symbolize natural scenery; the two sides of the court are the skyline of Hong Kong, with multiple gradient circles as the spectacular lights of the city.

We are thrilled to once again have the opportunity to work together. Artist TAXA was invited to express the ethos of the brand through his work, and the result is a vibrant and eye-catching mural at Rooftop of the multi-story car park. Together with 'Hennessy in the Paint', we celebrate art, and how it can bring people together, anytime, anywhere."

2021 Edition RUINART SOMMELIER CHALLENGE

Ruinart is delighted to announce the 2021 edition of the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge. An annual event to highlight and support local sommelier talents and pass on the knowhow of Maison Ruinart, this year’s Hong Kong edition took place in November 2021 and was based on the theme “The Ripening of the Grape Berry”.

Ruinart侍酒師大賽源自於美國，在2010年舉辦了第一屆後，現時比賽已成功拓展至於13個國家舉辦。Ruinart侍酒師大賽的目的是把志同道合的業界精英連繫起來，一同鑽研對葡萄酒及其過程的知識。是次於香港的比賽，吸引了21名來自城中享負盛名餐廳或酒店的侍酒師參加，當中包括香港瑰麗酒店、米芝蓮二星法國餐廳Ecriture、位於中環蘇豪區的Think Wine酒吧，香港深灣遊艇會、米芝蓮一星嘅法國餐廳Epure、香港喜來登酒店等等。

參賽的侍酒師於當日為期半日的活動上盲測品嚐四款氣泡酒，目的是讓他們懂得清晰準確地形容各款氣泡酒，並建議適合搭配的佳餚美食及各款氣酒的最佳享用温度。盲測環節完結後，品牌位於巴黎的釀造研究團隊透過視像方式，實時為參加者舉辦了一場大師班。今年的主題是葡萄成熟的過程，團隊與參賽的侍酒師們分享釀酒葡萄的結構、葡萄裡的糖、酸、芳香族酚類化合物等於不同時間的變化，如何控制葡萄成熟過程以及斷定每款葡萄品種的最佳收成時間。當天早上的活動以一場由Ruinart搭配佳餚的午宴完滿結束。

是次比賽的評審團包括Ruinart首席釀酒師Frédéric Panaïotis、Ruinart侍酒師大賽優勝者及前太古集團首席侍酒師Yvonne Cheung及亞洲侍酒及教育中心創辦人兼行政總裁Stephen Mack。

盲測選用的氣泡酒包括，2014 年 Laherte Freres Les Empreintes Extra-Brut Champagne、2008年House of Arras Grand Vintage、2010 年Champagne Agrapart & Fils Avizoise Blanc de blancs extra brut 及 Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Brut ‘sous-bois 。

評審團於比賽後審閱參賽者的匿名盲品筆記，從而選出2021年Ruinart侍酒師大賽香港分站的優勝者為米芝蓮一星高級泰國菜Aaharn 的首席侍酒師Kiki Sontiyart。

『對於成為了今屆Ruinart侍酒師大賽香港分站優勝者，我感到十分驚訝。我對葡萄酒搭配的興趣早於修讀廚藝學院時已經開始萌芽，一直希望能創造出一份不局限於法國菜，而是能給食客嶄新味覺體驗的搭配佳餚。我特别喜歡以家鄉泰國菜為構思搭配的藍圖，因為泰國菜始终是我最喜愛的菜式，要完美地以佳酿去襯托它，需要用上更多的時間，作更大膽的嘗試，而我最喜歡的，就是挑戰自己。』
———— Kiki Sontiyart。

Ruinart侍酒師大賽香港賽自2014年開始每年於香港舉行，至今已吸引逾140名參賽侍酒師，並成功誕生了幾個名優勝者，分别為 2019年優勝者Mirco Taraducci及2018年優勝者Leo Au。

每個國家的Ruinart侍酒師大賽優勝者將獲邀到法國香檳區參與一個四日三夜的導賞團，細味各款珍藏佳釀。優勝者亦會獲得一瓶特别版Cuvée和Ruinart侍酒師大賽獎盃一座。

『Ruinart侍酒師大賽不只是個比賽，而是一個讓侍酒師們交流與分享經歷的空間。』
———— Ruinart首席釀酒師 Frédéric Panaïotis

Created in 2010 in the United States, and now organized in 13 countries, the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge is a program that aims to unite talented sommeliers who share the same values of excellence and want to continue learning about wine and winemaking. This year in Hong Kong, Ruinart invited 21 participants from prestigious venues such as Rosewood, Ecriture, Think Wine, Aberdeen Marina Club, Epure, Sheraton etc.

During the half-day event, participants conducted a blind tasting competition of four sparkling wines. The aim was to describe and draw conclusions about the wines to identify them as precisely as possible, as well as suggest pairing and ideal serving temperatures. Following this practical challenge, the Maison’s oenological team led a masterclass, live from Paris. This year’s topic is the grape ripening: structure of the grape berry, when and how grapes load with sugar, acids and other aromatic and phenolic compounds, how to monitor ripening and determining the optimal harvest date to guide the style of the wine. The morning concluded with a lunch accompanied by Ruinart wines.

The judging panel comprised of Frédéric Panaïotis, Chef de Caves of Ruinart, Yvonne Cheung, previous winner of the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge and ex Swire Group Director of Wine and Stephen Mack, Founder and CEO of Asia Wine Service and Education Centre.

The wines included in the blind tasting were: Laherte Frères champagne les Empreintes Extra brut 2014, A by Arras Grand Vintage 2008, Champagne Agrapart & Fils Avizoise 2010 Blanc de blancs extra brut and Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Brut ‘sous-bois’

Over the following days, the jury went through all the anonymous sealed copies and selected the winner of the blind tasting the 2021 edition of the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge, Hong Kong: Kiki Sontiyart, Sommelier of Aarharn fine dining restaurant.

“I am still wonderstruck knowing that I have won the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge 2021. My interest in wine pairing all started back when I was in culinary school, I aspire to be able to create innovative pairing suggestions that range from classic French cuisine to the kinds of Asian food that I like to eat, pairing wine with Thai food is my absolute passion not only because it is my favourite, home-styled cuisine, but also that it requires a lot of out-of-the-box thinking, and I am all about challenges. “ – Kiki Sontiyart

Held in Hong Kong since 2014, the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge has already welcomed nearly 140 participants and crowned winners including sommeliers Mirco Tarducci (2019) and Leo Au (2018).

The winners of each national edition win the opportunity to be part in a unique four-day training experience to discover the Champagne region, receive an exceptional cuvee bottle from Ruinart Maison as well as a Ruinart Sommelier Challenge Trophy.

« More than a competition, the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge is a privileged moment of encounters, exchanges and shared experiences for sommeliers.»

Dom Pérignon and Lady Gaga’s Collaboration: The Queendom, a transformative expression of absolute creative freedom

From the creative minds of Dom Pérignon and Haus of Gaga comes ‘The Queendom,’ a visual experiment curated by Nick Knight, that encourages new horizons and perspectives while promoting the positive fantasy that allows us to dream and fuel our creativity. Embodied by Vincent Chaperon - the seventh generation Chef de Cave of Dom Pérignon and Lady Gaga, the collaboration celebrates creative freedom, artistic experimentation and a limited-edition sculpture and bottle designed by Lady Gaga.

「The Queendom」世界
作為品牌長期的支持者, Lady Gaga與創意團隊及擁有三十年豐富經驗、曾設計出無數劃時代視覺效果的攝影師及導演Nick Knight及屢獲殊榮、曾創造出不少經典潮流時刻的Haus of Gaga創意總監Nicola Formichetti共同打造「The Queendom」世界。

「The Queendom」世界象徵無拘無束的創造力，是Lady Gaga和唐培里儂以自己的方式向世界宣揚創作自由的力量，並鼓勵我們加入他們不斷創新的生活及追求和諧之境的旅程；激勵我們開創未來、擁抱自由的創作精神並讓它成為所有人的共同信念，能讓我們永不歇息地追求完美並與世界一起向前邁進。在未來兩年內，唐培里儂和Lady Gaga將宣佈進一步的精彩合作成果。

The collaboration’s limited-edition centrepiece was revealed in Hong Kong on 23 November during an exclusive event at Écriture in the heart of Central. As a Dom Pérignon society member, Executive Chef Maxime Gilbert is delighted to offer the champagne pairing package priced at $3,288 on top the Écriture seasonal tasting menu priced at $2,088 with 10% service charge to convey the vision of the partnership in the special themed VIP room. Set against panoramic views of Hong Kong, Dom Pérignon also presents an immersive atmosphere at the rooftop bar Plume, offering exclusive tasting experience featuring two Lady Gaga limited-edition bottles of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 and Rosé Vintage 2006, with pink bites specially curated by Chef Maxime for the pairing, priced at $6,400 with 10% Service Charge, available to the public from now until Saturday 18 December 2021.

The Inspiration
Born from a creative dialogue and a shared vision for absolute creative freedom, Dom Pérignon and Lady Gaga have made it their mission to push the limits of creativity to inspire others. Together, their objective is mutual inspiration, creative partnership and shared values of opportunity and generosity.

This is the one-of-a-kind sculpture designed by Lady Gaga for Dom Pérignon in collaboration with her creative and fashion director Nicola Formichetti. All Dom Pérignon’s profits for this piece was donated, totalling USD570,000, to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. Co-founded and led by Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, the organization supports the mental health of young people and works with them to create a kinder and braver world.

The ‘Queendom’ Campaign
As a long-time fan of the brand, Lady Gaga brings the support of her creative team: Nick Knight, visionary photographer and director with three decades of experience producing era-defining campaigns, and Nicola Formichetti, an award-winning creative and fashion director and editor and the creative consultant to Haus of Gaga responsible for Gaga’s iconic pop culture moments.

‘The Queendom’ is a shared belief brought to life by Dom Pérignon and Lady Gaga to propel creative freedom to the next level. It encourages a journey of self-acceptance, hard work and reinvention that transcends culture and languages for its joie de vivre, its energy, its rush of fantasy and celebratory visions. The campaign invites us to rediscover our imagination, positivity and the transformative power of creative freedom, which underlines how tireless dedication to one’s craft can elevate us, individually and collectively. Everything in ‘The Queendom’ is an expression of unbridled creativity.

Over the next two years, Dom Pérignon and Lady Gaga will continue their unique partnerships with upcoming projects.

Hong Kong, November 19, 2021. Moët & Chandon celebrates the thrill of coming together this holiday season with radiant displays of the effervescence of its champagnes. In an exciting new chapter in its long history of generosity and savoir-fête, the House has designed a host of sparkling events around the world that will enrich its legacy of unforgettable celebrations, and ring in a blissful season of togetherness. During the year-end festive season, Moët & Chandon is opening a pop-up in Hong Kong Times Square. With the theme of a giant luxury champagne gift box, the pop-up showcases the champagne collection and many photo moments for all to enjoy. From November 27th to January 2nd, customers can discover the world of luxury champagnes decorated with sparkling golden light, and celebrate the beautiful moments of the holiday season.

THE ICON OF EFFERVESCENT CELEBRATIONS
This holiday season, Moët & Chandon has chosen the bubbles of its fine champagnes as a festive symbol that has long been an integral part of the history of the House as an icon of celebrations since 1743. It was champagne’s “beautifying” sparkle that seduced Madame de Pompadour, King Louis XV’s confidante, and the royal courts of Europe. It was the very quality that Jean Remy Moët, grandson of the Maison’s founder, championed around the world to express the House’s exceptional winemaking know-how and to share its message of generosity.

Moët & Chandon’s cheerful effervescence brightened the round-the-world voyage of the iconic hot-air balloon that arrived at Chateau de Versailles in 1993, in time for the grand celebration of the House’s 250th anniversary. It illuminated New York City’s Statue of Liberty in 2006; it lit up the majestic Christmas tree in Cape Town in 2017; and it brought cheer to the star-studded inauguration of the Chateau de Saran in 2019, feting Moët Impérial’s 150th anniversary. These examples, among countless other splendid memorable moments, are engraved in the history of Moët & Chandon.

“The effervescence of Moët & Chandon’s champagnes is the bubbling symbol we have chosen for our celebrations this holiday season, a special ingredient of our champagnes we know will turn personal moments of happiness into a great movement for togetherness,” says Benoît Gouez, Cellar Master at Moët & Chandon. “The art of celebration is imbedded in our know-how, and Moët Impérial is designed to capture the very values of generosity and togetherness dear to the Maison.”

THE EFFERVESCENCE EVENTS
To share the delight of togetherness, Moët & Chandon will host a series of festive events inspired by champagne’s effervescence in over 20 cities including Sydney, Johannesburg, London, Milan, Amsterdam, Madrid, Moscow, Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Mexico City. Bespoke events taking place around the world will create jubilant gatherings in the company of Friends of the House where guests will enjoy a vast program of musical performances, immersive experiences in “eternal effervescence” rooms, transforming moments of togetherness into cheerful celebrations.

MOËT & CHANDON END OF YEAR EFFERVESENCE POP-UP AT TIMES SQUARE
Moët & Chandon is opening a pop-up in Hong Kong Times Square during the year-end festive period. Customers can experience the world of luxury champagnes from November 27th to January 2nd. Inspired by a giant luxury champagne gift box, the Moët & Chandon End of Year Effervescence pop-up uses the golden color of champagne as the key element and main palette for a magnificent and jubilant festive spirit. Viewed from the above, the pop-up looks like a round exquisite gift box tied with a golden ribbon. From the side view, we can see the eye-catching installation art composed of white golden spheres, which are placed on the atrium ground floor and seamlessly flow into the hanging display, just like the stream of rich and high-quality bubbles in the Moët & Chandon champagne. There are multiple photo opportunities in the pop-up, and customers are welcomed to take pictures of unforgettable Moët holiday moments with their friends and family under the glittering lights.

EXCLUSIVE GIFT-WRAPPING SERVICE
The brand is offering complimentary exclusive gift packaging service at the pop-up this holiday.

MOËT & CHANDON POP-UP OPENING HOURS

THE TOAST FOR A CAUSE
Perpetuating a tradition that has made the greatness and generosity of the House, Moët & Chandon invites all those attending its effervescence events around the world to raise a champagne glass and join its charitable initiative of “Toast for a Cause,” which debuted in 2009 on Hollywood’s red carpet. Each toast raised by a Friend of the House marks a reason to celebrate togetherness. This year, each toast will also trigger a donation to a local organization
dedicated to the preservation of biodiversity, demonstrating the House’s commitment to protecting the terroir of the Champagne region.

To usher in the spirit of the holidays, Moët & Chandon is thrilled to introduce https://mywishesvm.moet.com/, an online platform where champagne lovers can record festive video messages and share them with their loved ones to spread a message of joy, even if virtually.

Glenmorangie

Glenmorangie creates single malt whisky “not afraid to mix” Crafted with top bartenders, X by Glenmorangie inspires delicious mixed drinks

Glenmorangie 威士忌創作總監 Bill Lumsden 博士表示：「X by Glenmorangie 源於我們積極探索各種風味可能性的夢想，在諮詢多位頂尖的調酒師後，我們成功打造出這款口感更香甜細膩更濃郁、專為調酒而設的單一麥芽威士忌，絕對適合所有喜歡調酒師或在家調酒的人士。」

「香甜的香草和雪梨，多汁的柑橘和金銀花，再淋上朱古力軟糖，X by Glenmorangie化身成為調酒的完美搭配。無論是早午餐或約會、還是想摸索出最喜愛的味覺組合，這款威士忌都是調配飲品中無可取代的X元素！」

(Hong Kong, 19 August, 2021) Glenmorangie today releases a new single malt Scotch whisky specially MADE FOR MIXING. Crafted with top bartenders, X by Glenmorangie’s sweeter, richer taste is perfect for tall, simple serves, which promise to refresh the way single malt whisky is enjoyed.

Glenmorangie’s whisky creators are endlessly imaginative in their quest to dream up delicious whiskies. They make their more delicate, fruity spirit in Scotland’s tallest stills, and age it in the world’s finest casks. Inspired by the flavour possibilities their whisky can bring when mixed, they consulted with a range of top global bartenders, to craft X by Glenmorangie.

This luscious whisky is an extravaganza of flavours, from pear, vanilla and honeysuckle to orange sherbet and chocolate fudge. Expertly created from a combination of whisky aged in bourbon casks, and partially finished in new char oak casks, its sweet and rich taste both complements and cuts through all manner of mixers, for delicious drinks.

To inspire mixing, Glenmorangie has designed a series of refreshingly simple serves – each needing just 2-4 ingredients and easy to make at home using X by Glenmorangie. They include takes on familiar classics (Glenmorangie X Tonic, Glenmorangie X Peach) and swizzle-style drinks for fun-filled occasions, (Glenmorangie X Brunch, Glenmorangie X Date Night, Glenmorangie X Karaoke Party and more). The recipes can be found on https://www.glenmorangie.com/en-gb/x-by-glenmorangie and on the single malt’s social channels.

Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, said: “X by Glenmorangie came from our dream of creating even more flavour possibilities, with a single malt that’s not afraid to mix. Consulting with top bartenders, we crafted this sweeter, richer single malt for all those enjoying mixing at home.”

“Luscious with vanilla and pear, succulent orange and honeysuckle, all drizzled with chocolate fudge, X by Glenmorangie is perfect paired with a favourite mixer. So, whether you’re planning a brunch or a date night or want to experiment with your own flavour combinations, this whisky will bring your drink the x-factor!”

Ruinart

Ruinart Second Skin

1

Ruinart breaks with the tradition of individual gift boxes, and pushes its global, environmental approach further with the second skin eco-packaging case. The teams spent over three years developing a disruptive packaging that envelops the champagne bottle like a second skin.

As its name “Second Skin” signifies, it perfectly replicates the signature shape of Ruinart bottles, heightening the elegance of the curves as it hugs them. The lightness of the case, thanks to a construction in 100% cellulose fibers, contrasts with the current imposing norm in the world of champagne. The surface of the second skin eco-packaging evokes the walls of the Crayères de Reims, the ancient chalk quarries and natural wine cellars where Maison Ruinart champagnes age, giving the case a silky, organic feel. The novel coffret opens and closes thanks to a snap fastener to reveal the bottle nestled in its second skin.

The new design features include:
- Zero plastic

Krug

THE HOUSE OF KRUG PRESENTS ”LES CRÉATION DE 2008”

Introducing the House’s co-creation journey with local artist Manvsmachine

「Krug 2008 完美搭配海鮮肉類和各種美味佳餚，包括生蠔他他和龍蝦汁、青口和羅勒意大利麵、兔肉醬和酸模，甚至可配搭使用牛至和百里香等香草烹製的菜餚。它還可以配搭味道圓潤鮮活的甜點，如熱情果檸檬蛋白餅，形成強烈對比。」
庫克酒莊首席釀酒師Julie Cavil

FROM OFFSTAGE TO ONSTAGE: A SENSORIAL IMMERSION
Since its foundation in 1843, the House of Krug has sought new ways to enrich the tasting experience of its Champagnes. Indeed, Music and sound have the power to reveal a myriad of new dimensions through the sensorial experience that comes with every sip of Krug Champagne. It is in this spirit and with this understanding that the House of Krug has developed a unique endeavour Krug Music Pairings.

In honour of Les Créations de 2008, the House of Krug collaborated with Manvsmachine (MVM), an experimental electronic jazz trio formed in 2019 to create a unique Krug Echoes journey both onstage and behind the scenes. Their members are producer and sound designer Hirsk (@hirsk_), drummer Blue Kwok (@drmrblue) and pianist Daniel Chu (@thedanielchu). While members of MVM are eloquent in the language of classical and jazz, and take part in the production of pop music, they also have a taste for experimental avant-garde sounds and are keen to break boundaries between genres.
For this collaboration, the unique Krug journey experienced by guests which took place on October 25 and 26 and the experience explored the concept "what takes place backstage, prepares for the experience onstage”. The journey begins with an off-stage experience, guests discovered Krug's craftsmanship live from the House, and later delighted in MVM's onstage musical interpretations of Les Créations de 2008: Krug 2008 & Krug Grande Cuvée 164ème Édition
This is followed by a phenomenal food experience, featuring a menu that is curated and served by a Hong Kong Krug Ambassade Chef Guillaume Galliot, Caprice, Four Seasons Hong Kong.

THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF 2008: THE ELEGANT AND INTENSE STORY OF A BALANCED AND COOL YEAR
The year 2008 was one of Champagne’s coolest years in 14 years, and also one of the region’s least sunny in almost half a century. It was a classic northern climate, one that has not been seen much since. Rainfall was normal, the summer was dry, and temperatures were constant throughout the growing season. This absence of extremes resulted in slow and steady grape maturation. Under these circumstances, the fruit was intense, elegant and beautifully structured. Heterogeneity in the vines brought great complexity, with a full spectrum flavours and aromas observed upon harvest.

KRUG 2008: CLASSIC BEAUTY
For Krug, the year 2008 gave birth to a great classic Krug Champagne balancing structured freshness and diverse flavours. Krug 2008 exhibits both power and elegance with a textured and intense mouthfeel very characteristic of the year’s wines, which uniquely reconciled intensity and quality.
To tell the story of 2008, a selection of Pinot Noir plots’ wines constitutes more than half of the blend (53%) coming primarily from Krug’s emblematic plots of the Montagne de Reims Sud, including Aÿ, Mareuil, Bouzy and Ambonnay. Meunier plots’ wines (25%) bring tension and citrus, while aromatic Chardonnay plots’ wines (22%) imbue the blend with fruit.
The extraordinary profile of Krug 2008 comes after 12 years in the cellars, gaining in expression, harmony, and finesse. At first sight, an intense and brilliant golden hue. Krug 2008’s nose is expressive and very complete with round aromas of honey, liquorice, menthol, orange peel and grapefruit. On the palate, notes of quince, candied fruits and citrus, yellow kiwi, star fruit, honey, apple tart, butter cookies, orange peel, peony and fennel, with floral and menthol undertones. It has a long, balanced and precise finish with astounding structure.
The Krug musical composition of 2008 is powerful and harmonious at the same time, contrasted with pulsating sounds, like a piano score by Tracy Chapman. As all Krug Champagnes, Krug 2008 will continue to gain with the passage of time.

“Krug 2008 will beautifully accompany a variety of delectable dishes from sea to earth, including oyster tartare with a lobster emulsion, tagliatelle with mussels and basil, rabbit terrine with sorrel, or dishes prepared using aromatic herbs such as oregano and thyme. It will also pair nicely with any dessert that contrasts vivacity and roundness, such as a passionfruit lemon meringue.”
Julie Cavil, Cellar Master, House of Krug.

Hennessy

HENNESSY TEAMS WITH THE INTERNAIONTALLY ACCLAIMED MEDIA ARTIST AND DIRECTOR REFIK ANADOL TO REVEAL THE EMOTION BEHIND HENNESSY V.S.O.P PRIVILÈGE

（香港，2021年5月12日）— 在2021年，軒尼詩V.S.O.P Privilège將其承傳八代調配總藝師的匠心獨運（savoir-faire）重新演釋，帶來你從沒想像過的創新配搭。在這項創新前衛的合作，軒尼詩誠意邀請著名媒體藝術家及總監Refik Anadol 到訪軒尼詩總部所在地法國干邑區（Cognac）觀察品鑒委員會（Tasting Committee）的日常工作 — 這是軒尼詩首次讓藝術家透過神經系統科技參與及紀錄這個神秘且歷史悠久的日常例程，並結合人工智能及從機器獲取的數據，創造出富有突破性的藝術品。

軒尼詩秉承多年對藝術與設計文化的支持，將藝術品全權交由這位洛杉磯出身的藝術家自由發揮，創造出一項開創先河的當代藝術向經典不朽的V.S.O.P Privilège致敬。Refik Anadol到訪軒尼詩酒莊及創辦人的酒窖後，深深體驗到軒尼詩代代相傳的傳統與他所認識的人工智能領域截然不同，因而令他非常著迷。

這次合作完美地把精湛專業的技術及知識以創新的表達方式糅合。在這項全新的實驗中，軒尼詩品鑑委員對這項「非常規」的實驗大開眼界 — 第八代調配大師暨軒尼詩品鑒委員會成員Renaud Fillioux de Gironde和其他成員在品酒過程中均會配戴高科技設備，讓Refik實時追蹤他們的感觀變化，捕捉他們對「生命之水」（Eaux-de-vie）的體驗、感受和欣賞。

第八代調配大師Renaud Fillioux de Gironde說道：「在釀製期間，我們經常歸類、形容以及嘗試找出最貼切的詞彙去形容自身感受和經驗。所以我們都很期待科技創新能為品酒體驗帶來什麼樣的新景象。」

(Hong Kong, 12 May, 2021) In 2021, Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège boldly recasts its savoir-faire in an unexpected new dimension. In a groundbreaking collaboration, Hennessy welcomed the pioneer and acclaimed media artist and director Refik Anadol to its historic seat in Cognac, France to observe the Tasting Committee at work. It marked the first time in the Maison’s history that an artist was allowed to capture that time-honored ritual real-time via neuroscientific research methods, and to use the collected data in collaboration with machine intelligence to create an unprecedented work of art.

In keeping with Hennessy tradition, the Los Angeles-based artist received carte blanche to create a contemporary masterpiece celebrating the iconic V.S.O.P Privilège blend. Upon touring the Hennessy estate and Founder’s Cellar, he became fascinated by the contrast between Hennessy’s tradition of transmitting savoir-faire, generation after generation, as compared to the new frontiers of artificial intelligence.

Enduring mastery and new modes of expression came together in an extraordinary convergence. In an experiment borrowed from another realm, the Hennessy Tasting Committee consented to “open up their minds” to a completely unconventional experiment. Outfitted in high-tech equipment, Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde and his colleagues allowed Refik Anadol to track their emotions in real time, capturing their experience, sensations, and appreciations of eaux-de-vie.

Hennessy V.S.O.P 'Owning the Sunset'

Hennessy Presents a Vivid Take on the Magic Hour with 5 ‘Hennessy V.S.O.P Sunset’ Cocktails Savour twilight in a glass amid the fading glow of the day

(Hong Kong, 16th July 2019) Prized for crafting exquisite cognac, loved by royalties and the most discerning connoisseurs, Hennessy has been elevating the tasting experience of the classic French spirit by enriching its creative expression in mixology with over 141 original cocktail recipes to date.

1

Now the exponent of joy and beauty à la française turns up the volume once again with a colourful tribute to the magic hour, unwind after a day of action to replenish and recharge the soul. Headlining this celebration are 5 ‘Hennessy V.S.O.P Sunset’ cocktails, which are available in multiple outlets in Hong Kong. Each one of them a burst of twilight colour to allude to life in its fullest. These cocktails, including the brand-new Paint the Sky created by award-winning mixologist Shelley Tai; the well-received Hennessy Sunset Lime which debuted last year, and the newly concocted Hennessy Sunset Tea Ceremony, Hennessy Sunset Lychee Fizz and Game Changer, represent a new perspective on the connoisseurship of Hennessy V.S.O.P in the iridescent glow of the setting sun.

1

This creative, almost poetic, perspective was unveiled at the ‘Owning the Sunset’ party on 16th July at The Villa, which offered an immersive experience for guests to savour the notion of ‘Hennessy Sunset Cocktails’ amid high-octane performances against the backdrop of one of the world’s most magnificent cityscapes. Cocktails were created in collaboration with the legendary mixologist Antonio Lai and his team from Quinary, one of the world’s Top 50 bars for 5-straight years, including the ‘Diageo World Class Competition 2019 HK & Macau Bartender of the Year’ Shelley Tai. Canapés were curated by chef Vicky Cheng from the Michelin-starred VEA. A multisensory journey proceeded along a continuous flow of experiential spaces, chasing the colours of sunset with a change of mood and music every 30 minutes. Beach chairs, a zen-inspired circular installation, a pinkish bubble bathtub, and the neon-lit Sunset Bar, the effervescent sense of joy rippled as the night sank deeper and deeper. The changing hues of sunset also inspired the colour coding of the evening’s performances, which in turn matched with different cocktails and experiential spaces. Performances included a flash mob, synchronised swimming, urban ballet and a circus fire act which took up different thematic colours of the setting sun to complete a multifaceted experience.

1

A fizzy, sweet & sour mix of Hennessy V.S.O.P with zesty lime, Hennessy Sunset Lime is a light, citrus and fresh concoction that wakes up all senses to the beauty of the summery sunset. Meanwhile a note of subtlety in Hennessy Sunset Tea Ceremony washes the palate with unsweetened tea and an orange twist, whereas Hennessy Sunset Lychee Fizz ups the cognac cocktail game with a pinch of juicy lychee, offset by unsweetened tea and dry sparkling wine to give a bubbly sensation. As the night falls, the heavier, smoky Game Changer hearkens back to the mysterious veil of the night for a sophisticated palate mixing pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, agave nectar and the lingering Ardbeg 10 Year in one.

1

Crafted by Shelley Tai at Quinary, Paint the Sky captures the first hint of a velvety night with a slightly stronger taste combining the amber-coloured Hennessy V.S.O.P with sweet and sour roselle syrup, lemon juice and jasmine tea. The purplish pink cocktail is a surprising yet perfect coalition of opposites in the spectrum of tastes: the cognac and the light infusion of citrus and tea contrast and complement each other to round off the happy hour in a summer evening.

With over 9 years of bartending experience under her belt, Shelley Tai is the rising star in the cocktail bar scene in Hong Kong and beyond. Before joining Quinary, the city’s foremost high volume multisensory mixology cocktail bar helmed by master mixologist Antonio Lai, Shelley cut her teeth at legendary clubs and restaurants. Her knack for marrying unlikely flavours in her creations has earned her multiple industry accolades, including the most recent ‘Diageo World Class Competition 2019 HK & Macau Bartender of the Year’. She will be representing Hong Kong & Macau to vie for World Championship later in Glasgow.

GAME OF THRONES®- INSPIRED WHISKY IS HERE IN CELEBRATION OF THE HIT TV SERIES

Introducing White Walker by Johnnie Walker

Hong Kong, 27th November 2018: Send a raven – Scotch has officially entered the realm. In collaboration with HBO® and Game of Thrones, Johnnie Walker has today unveiled the new White Walker by Johnnie Walker. This limited-edition Scotch Whisky is inspired by the most enigmatic and feared characters on the hit show - the White Walkers - and is here for fans to enjoy as anticipation builds towards the final season.

1

Known by their icy blue eyes and led by the Night King, the undead army of White Walkers have emerged from the Frozen North bringing with them the chill of winter and now a limited-edition whisky that evokes their icy world. Created by whisky specialist George Harper, alongside a team of expert blenders at Johnnie Walker, this innovative whisky is best served directly from the freezer, echoing the chilling presence of the White Walkers.

1

The bottling brings you right to the Frozen North with an icy white and blue design along with the iconic Johnnie Walker Striding Man now fashioned in armour to fit in among the ranks of the Night King’s forces. Utilising temperature-sensitive ink technology, fans will be reminded that “Winter is Here” from an unexpected graphic icy reveal on the bottle when frozen.

1

The Scotch has notes of caramelised sugar and vanilla, fresh red berries with a touch of orchard fruit and features Single Malts from Cardhu and Clynelish – one of Scotland’s most Northern distilleries.

“We knew there was fan appetite for a Game of Thrones whisky and once we saw the vision from Johnnie Walker for a way to collaborate we knew the idea was perfect and the time was now.
