At its core, Martell embodies disruptive elegance, challenging conventions to craft experiences that are disruptive, innovative, and captivating,” said Liew Pooi Wan, Head of Marketing at Pernod Ricard Malaysia.

History of Martell

In 1894, Martell first made its debut in Malaysia, arriving at the Port of Penang, unknowingly commencing a 130-year association with the nation.

The brand has become synonymous with local traditions, punctuating gatherings with the joyful sound of “yam seng” at family and social gatherings. Certainly in Malaysia, Martell is a tradition.
