Legends about fine alcohol are long and popular, owing much to their finer qualities such as taste and flavorings, bought out even more through older vintage editions. One such kind of beverage, Cognac has similar legends attached to it for its classical origins in the Cognac region of France. For those who have been lucky enough to develop a taste for it, most point out to a single brand called Hennessy, who have managed to master the art of fine Cognac production for over 240 years, producing some limited edition examples such as the Odessey XO & VSOP Helios edition, and also the KAWS limited edition. Joining their league is the new X.O. Mathusalem cognac which carries with it royal heritage, along with an ultra-fine grade of cognac.
Looking back at history Hennessey began as a cognac maker way back in 1765, and has been catering to the royals and nobles across the world, which has indeed lent them a premium and royal beverage status the world over. The members of the family have travelled across the globe for generations, to promote the brand and inculcate some of the finest values of the regions, taking their standards of cognacs to different heights altogether. The limited edition Mathusalem X.O. stands as a prime example, where rarest of the collection has been put into 6-liter decanters for the first time, which will have only 300 editions available worldwide. After from the premium quality of the decanter contents, the packaging seems to be as much in the mood to turn heads as the beverage itself. Housed in a gun metal colored lamb-skin covered travelling suitcase, there is an additional Fusil within the package, that shall help you pick out the beverage from the bottle in perfectly suitable quantities before serving it in. The aim has been to recreate the similar magic which occurs when distillers pick out the beverage from the caskets for tasting and reviewing. The credit for this classical innovation goes to Arik Levey and Marie Virginie Berbet, who deserves credit for the fusil in the packaging.
