The VSOP Mixtape Vol 3. Limited Edition comes with a QR code on the pack to discover the tasting notes of Rémy Martin VSOP Cognac Fine Champagne, which embodies the perfect harmony of powerful and elegant aromas, symbolizing the Cellar Master’s art of blending. The versatility of VSOP makes it enjoyable neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail such as The Rémy Ginger.

As part of the immersive experience, participants can scan the QR codes integrated into each mural design for a deeper look into each DJ’s story and the impact on music today.
