Excellence and innovation in arts and culture is a core motivation for Rémy Martin. Global executive director Amaury Vinclet describes the collaboration with Broom as ‘an extraordinary creative adventure’ and for the designer there was a natural synergy with the brand. ‘There was an immediate connection,’ he explains.
‘It’s an honour to work on such a unique and iconic decanter and put my own twist on it.’ The collaboration marks a moment when a new generation of cognac connoisseurs are drinking this classic spirit. It has always been enjoyed neat, and mixed into cocktails, and the trend now is to appreciate the deep aromatic flavours of XO on ice.
The glinting angles of the glass as it catches the light suggest shards of ice, and also the fantastic array of aromas that are revealed in the cognac by the addition of a single ice cube. ‘I wanted to convey the opulence of Rémy Martin XO, but also the experience of serving it on ice, which is a beautiful way to taste cognac. The cuts convey a sense of icicles as well as radiance around the circumference of the bottle. They bring a sense of coldness,’ says Broom.
To celebrate the launch of the Lee Broom limited-edition XO decanter, which will be available at Selfridges from the end May, the cognac brand is offering cognac connoisseurs an opportunity to take a sensory journey through taste and– inviting visitors to enter the ‘Rémy Martin XO on ice universe’ via a fully immersive 3D-rendered mobile experience. Here they will discover the designer’s inspirations and processes, and a personalised tasting guide to fully savour the blend’s riches.
