From the House of Cognac Fine Champagne, Rémy Martin is proud to announce its collaboration with seven talented Malaysians, five renowned cocktail bars, and two culinary partners to celebrate the launch of Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal!
Rémy Martin has rallied seven talented Malaysians – TNTCO, Three Production, Dato’ Maw, Claudia Tan, Lego Sam, Wilson Ng and Tan Wing Jet – to create a film of unforgettable moments, showcasing their collective story of success and continuous pursuit of excellence, capturing the ambition of a new generation pushing boundaries, with the theme: #TEAMUPFOREXCELLENCE.
For almost three hundred years, the house of Rémy Martin has pursued one ambition: To reveal the best of nature, the talent of craftsmen, and its Cognac heritage. The result is Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal, a cognac so extraordinary that it was named after the royal approval granted to Rémy Martin by the King Louis XV of France in 1738.
Composed of eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the vineyards of Cognac, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, the Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal carries a distinctive oaky flavour due to the long, soft barrel toasting that teases out subtle notes of vanilla and brioche. This uniquely woody profile is elevated using casks made from oak found in the forests of Limousine, with wide grains that allow more exchanges between the wood and the eaux-de-vie, creating a broader and richer aromatic development.
The rich and robust Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal makes the best Sidecar cocktail – a classic and timeless tipple made with 30ml Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal, 20ml Cointreau and 10ml lemon juice poured into a shaker filled with ice. Strain and pour into a coupette glass garnished with an orange peel for the classic feel. Its flavour is complex yet extremely well-balanced – fruity and spicy, rich, and tart at the same time.
When Excellence Meets Creativity
What does excellence taste like? Is it a bittersweet note that ends on a smooth finish? A lingering flavour that keeps you wanting more?
Rémy Martin also teams up with five bartenders from the Klang Valley’s top bars and two culinary partners who concocted their own cocktail and gastronomic interpretations of the Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal that will be showcased in their respective menus. Passion, authenticity, ambition – with all the elements combined, these talents have come together to celebrate the spirit of excellence.
Cocktail enthusiasts can also create their own interpretations of another classic cognac cocktail – Royal Tom Collins – a light and refreshing highball which combines 45ml Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal, 20ml lemon juice and 20ml simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain over ice into a highball glass and top with club soda. Garnish with a lemon wheel and brandied cherry for a tasty showstopper.
