The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, by Suntory The Whisky This whisky is a blend of carefully selected malts distilled and casked in milestone years throughout the band’s 50 year history, including a Yamazaki malt from the year the band formed (1962) that has been long-aged in mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. Some Rolling Stones milestones and corresponding malts used: 1962: The Rolling Stones formed - Yamazaki malt 1971: Lips and tongue logo completed - Yamazaki malt 1972: Exile on Main St., the album including “Rocks Off,” used in Suntory TV commercials is released- Yamazaki malt1981: Signature song “Start Me Up” released - Yamazaki malt 1990: First performance in Japan’s Tokyo Dome - Hakushu malt, Chita grain Tasting Notes Its weighty, complex aroma calls to mind both dried and ripened fruits, and even cacao and espresso, and its rich heaviness and slight bitterness expand in the mouth with a velvety smoothness. The aftertaste is a pleasant and expansive woodiness akin to the fragrance of the finest aloes wood, and a soft smokiness. The Bottle This commemorative whisky is bottled in a crystal bottle designed around the iconic lips and tongue logo. The bottle features the logo cut in relief on the front of the bottle, and a diamond-shaped decorative stopper. The bottle comes in a stylish box modeled after a black sofa. Bottled in 2012.
