Aww... These nostalgic lanterns reminds me of those wonderful childhood memories. When I was a kid, I like hanging these Chinese lanterns in the porch during Mid-Autumn Festival. How time flies! The yearly Mid-Autumn Festival season dawns upon us once again. In Malaysia, this celebration bears much deeper meaning than just mooncakes and lanterns. It is also a time when family, friends and loved ones gather together and cherish precious moments together.
Celebrating a season of renewed “firsts”, Hennessy is inspiring people to cherish and rekindle first and renewed moments in a reunion that is sure to be especially meaningful.
Specially to mark this occasion, Hennessy has released two limited-edition Mid-Autumn Festival packs, featuring Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège and Hennessy X.O, for people to commemorate their first reconnection with family and friends. The beautifully designed packs also make exquisite gifts this season, to show family and loved ones just how much they are appreciated.
“There is no denying that Malaysians have had a tough year to deal with. However, every cloud, they say, has its proverbial silver lining. And though times are tough, there is much beauty and a newfound appreciation for what truly matters most to us – love, relationships and an attitude of gratitude. While the Mid-Autumn Festival this year will be different, the bond we share with the ones we love remains, and can only grow stronger,” said Thomas Bouleuc, Managing Director of Moët Hennessy Diageo (MHD) Malaysia.
“So this year, we specially want to invite Malaysians to mark the Mid-Autumn Festival with a meaningful celebration amidst the mooncakes and lanterns, by expressing cherished feelings and sharing memorable first moments. The limited-edition Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège and Hennessy X.O packs are symbolic of this, and a truly unique way to make this season an especially meaningful and unforgettable one,” he added.
