Building on the legacy of our award-winning trilogy of World Blended whiskies, our latest anniversary creation embodies the sentiment of ‘Mono No Aware’ — an evocative Japanese concept that appreciates the transient beauty of life.
shop nowThe bittersweet appreciation of life’s fleeting moments, much like the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms during Sakura season.
Whisky connoisseurs understand this sentiment deeply. Each sip of a meticulously crafted dram is a unique experience, a moment in time that can never be precisely replicated. This is especially poignant with limited edition or single cask whiskies, where each taste is a rare and treasured encounter, never to be experienced again.
With only 260 bottles produced, this enchanting blend is a harmonious fusion of fine Scotch whisky and three exceptional Japanese whiskies from emerging distilleries in Japan. For us, the Mono No Aware comes not just from drinking the final product but also from the meticulous but spiritual blending process.
Crafted exclusively from single-cask whiskies, this blend holds a unique spiritual significance, knowing we would never blend with these whiskies again. Every individual involved savored each moment in this process, dedicated to perfecting the blend and creating an unforgettable experience.
The final expression is a well-balanced, moreish blended whisky that combines rich, fruity and oaky Scotch, with lighter, floral and subtly smoky Japanese whisky.
Vibrant zest of fresh citrus and sliced apple, complemented by hints of dried berries. These bright flavors then give way to subtle layers of vanilla, butterscotch, and buttered toast.
Begins with a fresh burst of poached pear and light oak, then gradually reveals a rich tapestry of flavors as the oak deepens, mingling with notes of cocoa, cinnamon, and warm brown sugar.
Lingers beautifully, leaving you with refreshing floral notes and hints of baked apple, fresh berries, and charred oak.
“Mono No Aware” holds a special place in Japanese culture, so much so that an entire section of Manga art is dedicated to it. Some of Japan’s most celebrated Manga artists focus exclusively on this theme, capturing fleeting moments of contentment and joy with their elegant illustrations.
Inspired by this, we felt it was only fitting for the label of this year’s anniversary bottling to feature the serene experience of enjoying a limited edition whisky, beautifully depicted through the art of Manga.
Hailing from the artistic heart of Detroit, Michigan, Richard Ford III (RF3RD) is a distinguished visual artist thriving in the vibrant art scene of New York City. Richard’s creations are a captivating fusion of anime and manga inspirations, complemented by his roots in graffiti art. This unique combination infuses his work with striking attitude, depth, color, and character.
To celebrate this special anniversary, we are thrilled to present a limited-edition manga comic book masterfully illustrated by Richard with every bottle purchase. This exclusive piece beautifully captures the essence of ‘MONO NO AWARE’ through its dynamic and evocative illustrations.
