France – Luxury spirits brand Louis XIII has unveiled a limited-edition cognac, N°XIII, with a tongue-in-cheek campaign that hints at the hyper-exclusive nature of the drink. With only 200 decanters produced in total, consumers have a 0.0000038361% chance of ever trying the drink.
Made in collaboration with Object & Animal production studio, the campaign reveals that it is statistically more likely to hit a hole in one, become a professional actor, or even travel to space than to take a sip of N°XIII. Further highlighting its evasive brand presence, the drink is only available in a selected number of venues worldwide, and customers who are lucky enough to try the drink will be limited to one decanter a night.
In a similar vein to the concept cars that few consumers will ever have a chance to try, N°XIII is a limited-edition project that pushes the boundaries of conventional spirits marketing.
