Moet & Chandon x AMBUSH Collaboration

International fashion designer of AMBUSH, Yoon, is releasing an unprecedented and inspirational collaboration with iconic champagne house, Moët & Chandon this February—a first for Yoon in this territory and first artist collaboration for the House’s signature Moët Imperial Champagne in 152 years.

Known for her pioneering spirit as a “rule-breaker,” Yoon injects her minimalist aesthetics into the redesign by changing the gold neck of the bottle to a deep shade of black, contrasted with a new embossed label in white, to produce an eye-catching design that suggests a blank slate—like a window onto a future filled with possibilities for those who dare step forward.

While visiting Epernay in Champagne country and home to Moët & Chandon since 1743, Yoon was inspired by the lush nature of the agricultural heartland and impressed by the care that went into preserving the land and it’s age-old traditions. Following the visit, Yoon choose World Land Trust to receive the profits of sale of the limited-edition bottles, with support from the brand. We share additional details on World Land Trust below, for your reference.

This momentous partnership showcases Yoon’s disruptive creative and aims to bring a freshness to the centuries-old heritage of the Moët & Chandon, allowing the brand to connect with the spirit of its time and stand for the values that speak to today’s generations.

Today Patrón announces it's newest partnership with Guillermo del Toro with a bottle pricing at $399.

The Patrón x Guillermo del Toro partnership includes 2 new bottles. one of them being a limited-edition 750ml bottle of extra añejo tequila sits upside down as the “torso”. This  includes a blend  of rare Patrón tequilas aged for an average of more than five years in a combination of different new and used oak barrels

While a 100ml bottle is also available with aged orange liqueur, sits on top, a skull exquisitely carved into the crystal. Complementing that tequila is the smaller bottle, a first-of-its-kind aged Patrón orange liqueur produced from aged Patrón tequila. 

The blend is much different from your go to Silver Patrón, as this has a bright golden color with sweet notes of honey, raisins vanilla and oak. While the orange liqueur has a sweet aroma of citrus and French Toast.

Only a very limited number of sets were produced, and are currently available at fine spirits and liquor retailers across the country for the suggested retail price of 399.
