Created to celebrate the 2025 Lunar New Year, The LOUIS XIII Limited Edition Lunar New Year Coffret begins like all of the renowned offerings from this iconic brand. The included eaux-de-vie  (over 1,200) come from Grande Champagne vineyards and are matured between 40 and 100 years.

The result is an exceptional cognac filled with flavors of pipe tobacco, figs, caramel, candied fruits, ginger, orange peel, honey, saffron, and vanilla. The finish is a mix of toffee, candied orange peels, oaky wood, and a lightly spicy final flourish.

But it’s not the liquid inside we’re writing about today. It’s the unique Lunar New Year Coffret that we’re interested in. Designed by well-known Chinese artist Liu Li Hong, it’s artfully decorated with a gold snake along with a blooming Winter Jasmine. This is the second LOUIS XIII Limited Edition Lunar New Year Coffret and one that is sure to be a must-have for collectors.

Where can I buy it?

Like all expressions from Louis XIII, the Lunar New Year Coffret is extremely limited. Also, if you want to add this bottle to your collection, you can’t simply stroll into your neighborhood liquor store. This limited-edition expression is only available by contacting the Louis XIII shop by emailing them at conciergerie.us@louisxiii-cognac.com for the suggested price of $4.200.

McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream

McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams has made flavorful, memorable ice cream in California since 1949. To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, you’d think the iconic ice cream makers would be selling some chocolate and candy heart concoctions, some cupid-themed, pink, red, and white-chocolate-filled ice cream, or even an ice-cream themed take on the classic giant Valentine's heart filled with random chocolates.

And while that would be all well and good, it wouldn’t be exciting enough for us. Epecially as fans of booze. Luckily, the brand is relaunching Garrison Brothers Whiskey & Pecan Praline ice cream to celebrate this sweets-filled holiday.
