If anyone knows how to make things bespoke, unique and luxurious, Rolls Royce can make it better. The British marque is renowned for providing an extraordinary experience with all its ventures, be it automobiles or lifestyle. The brand has recently added to the Rolls Royce Connoisseur's Collection a bespoke whisky and cigar chest called Rolls Royce Cellarette. The Cellarette derives from the marque's rich heritage of providing clients with effortless and affable hosting opportunities.
'The Rolls-Royce Cellarette, the latest addition to the Rolls-Royce Connoisseur's Collection, offers our clients new ways to enhance their lifestyle beyond the experience of their Rolls-Royce motor car. Historically, Cellarettes were used to secure wine and spirits. This bespoke chest can be configured to stow aperitifs or digestifs, dependent on the client's preferences, alongside prized cigars, in a spectacular fashion.' said Nicholas Abrams, Bespoke Designer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
The Cellarette epitomises true Rolls-Royce style: precision engineering, exquisite hand craftsmanship and a breath-taking presentation of luxury. Although the Cellarette will fit into the rear of any Rolls-Royce, it truly comes into its own as a centrepiece at an al fresco dining experience or as an accompaniment at an intimate gathering.
The Cellarette exteriors are crafted from polished aluminium and feature overlays of genuine Rolls-Royce Havana leather complete with an Obsidian Ayous Open Pore veneer serving tray with Spirit of Ecstasy inlay. The exterior opens up to a warm Armagnac leather accentuated by a soft light, evoking the atmosphere of a distinguished Members' Club. The Cellarette includes hand-blown lowball glasses, each exquisitely finished with the 'RR' monogram. At the opposing end is a humidor which, when opened, offers the user a cigar tray. Cigars are nestled in Spanish Cedarwood at the chosen humidity level for optimum enjoyment, a measure that is precisely monitored by a hygrometer.
Accompanying the humidor are two smaller containers – one for an intricately detailed cigar cutter and lighter, made by S. T. Dupont, Paris, and engraved with the Spirit of Ecstasy Expression, and the other for an ashtray. The containers are magnetically held at either end of the cassette. To ensure compact transit, the ashtray's cigar cradles extend only once the container is opened.
The Rolls-Royce Cellarette is available through Rolls-Royce dealerships, with prices starting from $55,000 excluding local taxes.
