Martell is ushering in the Year of the Horse with a seriously stylish Chinese New Year drop. Think limited-edition Martell Cordon Bleu and Martell VSOP bottles dressed in bold, calligraphic artwork inspired by the noble steed. Created in collaboration with acclaimed Chinese artist He Datian, the designs blend fluid brushstrokes, vibrant reds and blues, and luxe gold accents, making these bottles prime candidates for auspicious gifting (or flexing on your bar cart).

The celebration doesn’t stop at the bottle. From 5–12 February, Martell is popping up at ION Orchard with The House of Martell (an immersive, open-door experience inspired by the Chinese New Year tradition of house visiting). Expect a warm festive welcome complete with red packets, Martell-infused gelato, bespoke cocktails, calligraphy keepsakes, and a striking gold sculptural installation that brings the Chinese character for “Horse” to life in dramatic, Instagram-ready form.

At the heart of it all is Martell’s signature blend of heritage and modern flair, from its iconic cognacs to a showcase of ultra-rare creations like L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Cheval. Entry is free, vibes are high, and stocks are limited, so if you’re looking to toast the Lunar New Year in style, this is one pit stop worth making before the horse bolts.

Think glossy, sculptural desserts that look like fruit, but slice open to reveal beautifully layered flavours that nod to prosperity, longevity and all the good vibes we’re manifesting for the year ahead.

The real scene-stealer is Mandarin, Cedric Grolet Singapore’s first room-temperature creation.
