25 November 2010, Singapore – Remy Martin VSOP, the heart of Cognac, has specially created an exclusive red bottle edition to usher in the festive season for Southeast Asia and Taiwan. The aromatic intensity within the luminous ruby-hued bottle comes from eau-de-vie which is harvested from the finest crus and from patient ageing which extends way beyond the minimum stipulated by legislation.
It’s complex aromas and sweetness of the flavours, married with elegant richness of the aromas and palate leaves a lasting impression. What differentiates Remy Martin from other Cognacs is the passion, heart, courage and dedication of the people who built the brand over generations.
Remy Martin VSOP special edition bottle costs $188 for 70 cl and is available at the following:
New Asia Bar | Introbar | Ink Bar | Cuba Libre | Nueva Cuba | La Viva | Cable Car | FIVE Izakaya | Crazy Elephant | Emporium | M Bar as well as at Barworks Wine and Spirits | Bottles Shop | Hermitage | The Wine Gallery Shops at Chang Charn, Kallang Place and Boat Quay.
At the tasting event, I spoke to Thibault Robert, the International brand ambassador for Louis XIII and Remy Martin who was in town for the International Bartender Conference. Thibault joined the group in 2007 as the brand ambassador for Louis XIII in Europe. More recently in October this year, he was also appointed as the brand ambassador for Remy Martin.

We got to taste the Remy Red Freeze Cocktail and the Remy Red Hot Cocktail. Personally, with my liking for the sweet and refreshing taste, my favourite was the Remy Red Freeze Cocktail.
