Kweichow Moutai 2021 Xiang Yi Wu Zho Tiffany Blue is an experiment, a trial to see whether buyers are prepared to pay a premium compared to the regular bottle, an attempt from the distillery to upgrade the value of Kweichow compared to that of Chateau Lafite, the top-selling Grand Cru in China.

Kweichow Moutai 2021 Xiang Yi Wu Zhou is a blend of 4-5 year old Baijiu with a small portion of 10-year old Baijiu. While the Tiffany Blue shares the complexity and many similar notes with the Feitian Moutai, two key differences stand out: the more prominent nuttiness and sesame aroma, and a much more refined, "polite" character. It's still a warm spirit, but the edges are much more rounded, resulting in a more elegant and balanced profile.

Bottled 4 November 2021 from batch 2020-164.

Hennessy Paradis was released in 1979 as successor of Hennessy Extra, though the name extra was added to the Paradis label for quite some time, apparently to ensure the public would understand what Paradis actually stood for.

Note: bottle has been discounted due to a missing neck label.

New York-based artist KAWS needs little in the form of introduction around these circles. From an artist on the streets to full-fledged gallery showings and toys, KAWS’s latest project involves the storied cognac producer, Hennessy. This artist collaboration features a meeting of Hennessy’s tradition with the progressive and iconic aesthetics of KAWS on a limited edition bottle of V.S. Cognac.

A total of 210,000 bottles have been produced, each carrying its own unique number, released September 2011 through selected channels. Besides the 100cl version Hennessy also issued 210.000 bottles (70cl) and 420.000 bottles (750ml), the latter for the US market.

The Jameson Caskmates Tokyo Edition was announced 15 May 2018.

James Caskmates Tokyo Edition brings an entirely new level of logistical complexity. Jameson is aged in the cask in Ireland, then the cask is shipped to Tokyo, where two different DevilCraft beers are rested — their Imperial Stout and Imperial Rye Brown Ale. Afterwards, the barrels are returned to Ireland, where Jameson is finished once again for 10 months. The two resulting Jamesons are blended together, bottled, and sent back to Tokyo.

On 17 March 2011 Jameson launched a limited-edition bottle to mark St. Patrick's Day. Designed by Irish artist Paul Daly, the bottle aims to make St Patrick’s Day more contemporary and relevant to global consumers, according to brand owner Pernod Ricard. The bottle was inspired by illustrations from The Book of Kells, a famous medieval manuscript which is thought to be the muse of modern Celtic art. An important part of Irish history, the book remains in Dublin, the city of Jameson’s origin. Daly has modernized this design to create a contemporary bottle for the brand.

Remarkably the exact same bottle was once more released 15 March 2012 for the very same occasion, something which does not seem to have been noted by most collectors and traders.

Suntory introduced Hibiki in April 1989, released to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the company.  The NAS premium blend at 43% ABV carried a suggested retail price of ¥10,000. Designated as “a masterful blend of specially aged whiskies with a mature full-bodied taste” on the front, the back label further elaborates that the contents are a mix of 30 different whiskies. The unique bottle, with its 24 facets that reflect the hours in the day as well as all the ‘small seasons’ in the year, sported a medallion, a gold cap stopper, all packaged in a luxurious box.  

Hibiki 17 years old was launched in 1994, as replacement for the nas version which however contained the exact same whisky. Hibiki 17 years phased out in 2019 in favor of Hibiki 21 years.

This is the first edition, a blend of 30 different malt whiskies, each aged a minimum of 17 years.
