Proposing a Rich Lifestyle with Single Malt
MHD's single malt whiskies boast a world-class lineup. Their flavors range from the intense character of Talisker, Ardbeg, and Lagavulin to the more mellow notes of Glenmorangie and Glenkinchie, featuring only the most select single malts from Scotland.
The "MHD Grand Malt Tasting 2012," now in its second year following last year's event, will feature 12 distillery brands, each with its own unique character. Furthermore, limited editions from other distilleries owned by MHD will also be showcased, making it an unmissable event.
Glenmorangie's "Original," known for its delicate and complex flavors, cherished by fans worldwide.
Talisker's "Talisker 10 Year Old," the "golden spirit" of the Isle of Skye.
Ardbeg's "Ardbeg 10 Year Old," harmonizing intense smokiness with delicate sweetness.
On the day, under the theme "Find your flavour," attendees will be encouraged to discover their favorite bottle, learn about different ways to enjoy it, and explore a rich lifestyle centered around single malts. Dr. Bill Lamsden, the Distillery and Production Manager for Glenmorangie and Ardbeg, and Mark Lochhead, Distillery Manager for Talisker, will visit Japan for talk shows. Additionally, there will be free tastings of single malts and booths offering food pairings, creating a rich, experiential event.
Participation requires advance registration on the website and a payment of 2,500 yen. We encourage you to delve into the deep and diverse world of single malts.
