Since 2003, Grand Marnier has launched a limited edition bottle at the end of each year. The contents of the bottles is the same liqueur that fills regular Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge bottles.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the House of Grand Marnier, in 1927 Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle asked artists and artisans to create original designs for the famous Grand Marnier bottle, the result being a rare and astounding collection which the Marnier Lapostolle family continue to treasure and it was one of these bottles that inspired the design of the Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire in 1977. Since 2003, Grand Marnier has paid homage to this initiative by launching a limited edition bottle at the end of each year.
