As part of its ongoing tricentennial celebrations, the House of Rémy Martin recently hosted an exclusive dinner at the glittering Boathouse in Ampang, highlighted by the spectacular unveiling of its limited-edition 300th Anniversary Coupe. Held on 13 June, the momentous evening was graced by Tyrel Ball, Managing Director of Rémy Cointreau – South & North Asia Pacific (SNAP), alongside esteemed clients, media, and industry partners.
Thanesh Joel, bartender at Backdoor Bodega and the local champion of this year’s Bartender Talent Academy competition, served up an array of refreshing Rémy Martin cocktails behind the bar as guests indulged in pre-dinner canapes.
Undeniably the most anticipated part of the evening was the exclusive tasting of the 300th Anniversary Coupe, which presented a luminous amber patina when observed under the light. On the nose, the special release offered bright aromas of candied orange and passion fruit, rounded off by a delicate combination of sandalwood, leather, mixed spices, and floral notes.
Upon the first sip, the spirit afforded an impressive structure that bursts with candied fruit, fig and passion fruit notes. A second sip prolongs its elegant, refined finish with additional hints of exotic fruits, nuts, and oak – the perfect toast to Rémy Martin’s storied past, glorious present, and promising future.
