Get buzzy this Year of the Rabbit with these wines, whiskies and cognacs that come in exclusive packaging
Alcohol brands are welcoming the Year of the Rabbit with exclusive alcohol releases that make for a boozy celebration. German wine brand Dr. L Riesling, for example, has packaged its signature expression in a special bottle that comes with an auspicious rabbit on the label. Meanwhile, whisky brands such as Glenfiddich and Johnnie Walker have collaborated with renowned Asian artists to take inspiration from this year’s Chinese animal zodiac to spruce up the designs of their boxes. Let us not forget cognacs, which are often served during reunion dinners. This year, Rémy Martin has bottled its signature expression with a cocktail shaker, so you can opt to serve it whichever way you want: neat, iced or mixed in cocktails.

1. Glenfiddich Limited Edition Gift Packs
In welcoming the Year of the Rabbit, the single malt Scotch whisky collaborated with Chinese illustrator Yixin Zeng to design four exquisite gift packs for its 12, 15 and 18 Year Old and Reserva Rum Cask 21 Year Old. At the centre of his designs is the iconic royal stag surrounded by a festive wonderland, and brought alive by prosperous elements such as Chinese dragon, Chinese crane, feathers and fish, and fireworks. Each expression comes in a specific colour and is packaged with a highball glass or nosing dram for better enjoyment. The festive bottles are available for purchase on since1887.com.
