BARMAN COMPETITION | COCKTAIL | REMY MARTIN

Rémy Martin is a French firm that primarily produces and sells cognac. Founded in 1724 and based in the commune of Cognac, it is one of the biggest cognac producers and is also part of the Comité Colbert, an association “to promote the concept of luxury.“ The brand specialises in Cognac Fine Champagne. The name Rémy Martin comes from the name of the company founder, born in 1695 near Rouillac in southwestern France. A winegrower by trade, in 1724 he created a trading house of cognac. After his death in 1773, his grandson, also named Rémy, pursued the business. In 1841, Paul-Emile-Rémy Martin assumed control of the business and oversaw great growth. He added a logo to the bottles and cases, in the shape of a centaur, a mythological creature representing Sagittarius, Martin’s own zodiac sign. The Rémy Martin brand uses a distinctive centaur logo and in China is also called réntóumă (人头马), literally “man-headed horse"
