This limited edition ABK6 VSOP Cognac was designed in collaboration with Chinese artists to celebrate the Year of the Snake.
Francis Abécassis, owner of the House, and Master Cellar Frédéric David selected eaux-de-vie known for their aromatic richness and aged them in the oldest barrels of the estate.
This cognac, with its harmonious and powerful character, evokes the strength and wisdom symbolized by the snake in Asian culture.
