✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Released in 2012 to commemorate the golden jubilee of one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic bands, the Suntory Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary edition is a legendary, ultra-rare commemorative blend that bridges the worlds of Japanese spirits craftsmanship and music history. Housed in a striking crystal bottle shaped like the band's famous 'Tongue and Lips' logo, this masterpiece is a blend of carefully selected whiskies from Suntory's most prestigious distilleries, each chosen to represent a milestone year in the band's history. The blend features a 1962 Yamazaki malt marking the year the band was formed, a 1971 Hakushu malt and Chita grain celebrating the debut of the tongue logo, a 1972 Yamazaki malt commemorating the release of the landmark album 'Exile on Main St.', and a 1990 Hakushu malt honoring the Stones' first-ever concerts in Japan. This complex, deeply aromatic spirit offers a rich tapestry of dried fruits, elegant Mizunara oak, and subtle smoke, embodying the rebellious spirit of rock and the meticulous art of Japanese blending.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Suntory blev grundlagt i 1899 af Shinjiro Torii i Osaka, Japan. Huset startede oprindeligt som en beskeden vinhandel, men revolutionerede siden drikkevareverdenen, da de i 1923 grundlagde Yamazaki Distillery og dermed banede vejen for autentisk japansk whisky. Drevet af pionerånden 'Yatte Minahare' – modet til at drømme stort og favne dristige udfordringer – udviklede huset en filosofi forankret i sublimt håndværk og en dyb ærefrygt for naturen. Gennem årtierne voksede Suntory til et globalt kraftcenter, som udvidede sit repertoire til også at omfatte førsteklasses vin, gin, likører og internationale spirituskategorier via strategiske opkøb i Skotland, Europa og Nordamerika. I dag er producenten verdensberømt for sine harmoniske og ikoniske kreationer – anført af den internationalt hyldede Hibiki-serie af blended whisky, raffinerede single malts og en mangfoldig portefølje af helstøbt, balanceret spiritus.
