Martell is celebrating the Year of the Horse in 2026 by highlighting its special bond with this noble and free-spirited creature. For Martell XO, He Datian has imagined regal white horses standing proud among brushstrokes of gold. The effect is evocative, a reflection of the extra-old cognac’s prestige, power and finesse. Martell XO is bold and charismatic, a spirit captured by He Datian’s finely detailed illustration, which lends this limited edition a sophisticated, hand-crafted quality and makes it a privilege to give or receive.
