Last week, master blender Yann Fillioux handed the keys of the cellar to his nephew Renaud Fillioux. 'Hennessy 8' with a limited edition bottle and case designed by Arik Levy, marks the occasion. Pictured: Hennessy 8 at La Sarrazine

两百多年来，轩尼诗家族和Fillioux家族为皇室成员和说唱歌手创造了最好的白兰地。前者于1765年创立了麦森，后者自19世纪初就成为其主要的搅拌机。

上周，在执掌50年后，第七代搅拌机大师YannFillioux将地窖的钥匙交给了他的侄子Renaud Fillioux。为了纪念这一时刻，梅森创建了轩尼诗8号，这是一种纪念混合物，由ArikLevy设计，配有限量版瓶子和箱子。

利维与百家乐合作设计了60公斤的克拉菲。它以八个水晶戒指为特色，环绕在一个酒瓶周围，这个酒瓶是从古老的品酒瓶中得到灵感的，它被包裹在一个木箱里，这个木箱是由轩尼诗合作公司(Hennessy)的橡木制成的(在铜镶嵌指蒸馏过程中使用的金属工具。

总部位于巴黎的莱维(Levy)说，我使用了所有与生产白兰地相关的原材料。莱维曾在2012年与轩尼诗(Hennessy)合作开发XO。“我被要求想象200年后公司会在哪里。”因此，这是一项技术性很强的工作，历时三年才得以发展。

这种混合也同样复杂。它融合了8个eaux-de-vie，其中7个是由Yann创建的，一个是由Renaud创建的。“每个人都有很强的个性，把他们结合在一起是一个挑战，”Fillioux的资深解释说。目前还没有计划生产更多稀有的长生不老药，而Levy只生产了250瓶。对于€，35，000每个可以是你的。

The bottle features eight crystal rings that loop around a bottle inspired by the tasting flacons of old. Pictured: Arik Levy's original sketch of the bottle, with the finalised white edition to the left

The blend was equally complex to create. It’s a fusion of eight eaux-de-vie, seven of which were created by Yann Fillioux, one by Renaud Fillioux 

The bottle is wrapped in a wooden case made in oak from the Hennessy cooperage (where barrels are still made by hand)

Levy explains, ‘I was asked to imagine where the company would be in 200 years’ time. For that reason, it’s a highly technical work which took three years to develop'

There are no plans to produce any more of the rare elixir, and Levy has created only 250 bottles - which can be yours for 35,000 euros a pop
