Rémy Martin XO Anish Kapoor Artistic Collaboration Limited Edition Cognac is a stunning fusion of exquisite Cognac and contemporary art, released as a highly anticipated global limited edition. This collaboration, unveiled in April 2025, marries the renowned Rémy Martin XO Fine Champagne Cognac with the visionary artistry of Anish Kapoor, a globally celebrated artist known for his exploration of color, form, and space.
Key Characteristics:
- Artistic Collaboration: This special edition is the result of an extraordinary partnership between the House of Rémy Martin and international icon of contemporary art, Anish Kapoor. The collaboration reflects Kapoor's profound personal connection to Rémy Martin, stemming from his childhood memories of his father enjoying the Cognac.
- Reimagined Decanter Design: Kapoor has reimagined the iconic Rémy Martin XO decanter, transforming it into a piece of art itself. The design features a minimalist curve with a concave center in glowing amber tones. He revisited the original glass mold to create a smooth front surface that seamlessly blends with the classic scooped design on the back. This innovative approach amplifies the decanter's luminous effect, enhances its solar shape, and is designed to "reflect infinite possibilities," directly referencing Kapoor's signature concave mirror artworks. It features a new copper bottle neck and stopper.
- Rémy Martin XO Fine Champagne Cognac: The liquid inside remains the exceptional Rémy Martin XO. This is the first Cognac Fine Champagne XO to feature a blend of hundreds of eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the two most central and superior crus of the Cognac region: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. These eaux-de-vie are aged for a minimum of 10 years, with some components being significantly older, contributing to its unparalleled smoothness and complexity.
- Inspiration from Liquid's Color: Kapoor's design and an accompanying unique artwork he created are deeply inspired by the hundreds of hues found in the Rémy Martin XO eaux-de-vie, ranging from pale gold to dark amber. He sought to capture the liquid's radiant presence and how its color changes with light.
- Limited Edition & Collectible: This is a highly collectible limited-edition release, appealing to both Cognac connoisseurs and art collectors. It is being rolled out in select markets, particularly focusing on global travel retail (duty-free stores) at major airports like London Heathrow, Zayed International Airport, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, and locations in Hong Kong.
- Proof: Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Tasting Notes (for Rémy Martin XO, which this edition contains):
- Eye: The ultimate fiery mahogany with captivating opal tones, reflecting its richness and age.

- Palate: An opulent and progressive journey through the palate. Flavors unfold from ripe plum and candied orange to a complex array of spices (nutmeg, cinnamon) and toasted hazelnuts. The progression finishes with exquisite gourmet notes of roasted cocoa beans and honeyed gingerbread. It is known for its remarkable smoothness and full-bodied intensity.
- Body: Smooth, full-bodied, and boasts a remarkably long-lasting finish.
Overall Impression:
The Rémy Martin XO Anish Kapoor Artistic Collaboration Limited Edition is more than just a bottle of Cognac; it's a statement piece that celebrates the intersection of fine craftsmanship, heritage, and cutting-edge art. It offers the beloved, exceptionally smooth, and full-bodied Rémy Martin XO experience, encased in a decanter that is itself a work of art, designed to reflect the liquid's luminous beauty and the infinite possibilities of both art and spirit. This release is a must-have for collectors, a luxurious gift, and an exceptional Cognac for savoring neat, allowing one to appreciate both its rich sensory profile and its artistic inspiration.
