If you are a Rolling Stones fan, you are going to like this! To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the infamous rock band, Suntory released this special edition bottle. Only 150 were ever made.
Six different whiskies were blended to make this commemorative drink, with each vintage being from an important year in the history of the band: a Yamazaki 1962 to represent the year that the band was formed, a 1971 vintage, which pays tribute to the tongue and lips logo, a 1972 malt, which marks the year of the release of their famous album 'Exile on Main St.', and finally, Hakushu and Chita whisky from 1990 to celebrate the year when the Stones held their first concert in Japan.
This is a must have for the Rolling Stones fan!
Suntory is a giant in the whisky producing field. It has produced innumerable award winning whiskies for both the domestic and export markets. Of these, both the single malts of Yamazaki and Hakushu often make the headlines but the distillery group also produces the sensational (and multiple award winning) Hibiki blended whisky, (aged at 12yo, 17yo, 21 yo and 30 yo) using spirit from the aforementioned distilleries as well as grain whisky from their Chita production plant. The 12yo Hibiki is noted for its fragrant, fruity aroma, which it partly obtains from additional maturation using Ume Plum Wine casks.
