沙羅双樹 純米大吟釀 50 720ML |
沙羅双樹是佛經裡提及的一種植物,事實上卻也存在於現實,其花如山茶一般淡雅高潔,盛川家的沙羅双樹引自「平家物語」,盛川的社長說這是取其「無常」的涵
意。採用兵庫縣特A地區產的山田錦。若要說酒米的最高峰,兵庫縣產的山田錦絕對名列其中。在當中被視為最高級的產地莫過於吉川町。吉川町所產特級以上的山
田錦毫不吝惜地全量使用。追求的酒質的平均,將日本清酒該有的香、酸、甜、辛、澀都能夠充份表現,卻又各自沉穩而不張揚。

SUNTORY 三得利
Suntory was started by Tori Shinjiro, who first opened his store Torii Shoten in Osaka on February 1, 1899, to sell imported wines. In 1907, the store began selling a sweet tasting red wine called Akadama Port Wine. The store became the Kotobukiya company in 1921 to further expand its business and in 1923, Torii Shinjiro built Japan's first malt whisky distillery Yamazaki Distillery. Production began in December 1924 and five years later Suntory Whisky Shirofuda (White Label), the first single malt whisky made in Japan, was sold.
Due to shortages during World War 2, Kotobukiya was forced to halt its development of new products, but in 1946 it re-released Torys Whisky, which sold well in post-war Japan. In 1961, Kotobukiya launched the "Drink Torys and Go to Hawaii" campaign. At the time, a trip abroad was considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In 1963, Kotobukiya changed its name to "Suntory", taken from the name of the whisky it produces. In the same year, Musashino Beer Factory began its production of the Suntory Beer. In 1997, the company became Japan's sole bottler, distributor, and licensee of Pepsi products.
On April 1, 2009, Suntory became a stockholding company named Suntory Holdings Limited (サントリーホールディングス株式会社) and established Suntory Beverage and Food Limited (サントリー食品株式会社), Suntory Products Limited (サントリープロダクツ株式会社), Suntory Wellness Limited (サントリーウェルネス株式会社), Suntory Liquors Limited (サントリー酒類株式会社), Suntory Beer & Spirits Limited (サントリービア&スピリッツ株式会社), Suntory Wine International Limited (サントリーワインインターナショナル株式会社), and Suntory Business Expert Limited (サントリービジネスエキスパート株式会社).
On July 14, 2009, Kirin announced that it was negotiating with Suntory on a merger.On February 8, 2010, it was announced that negotiations between the two were terminated.
In 2009 they acquired Orangina, the orange soft drink for 300 billion yen, and Frucor energy drinks for 600 million euros.On 2 July 2013 the company debuted on the Tokyo stock exchange and raised almost US$4 billion in the process.
In January 2014, Suntory announced an agreement to buy the largest U.S. bourbon producer, Beam Inc. for US$16 billion.This deal would make Suntory the world's third largest spirits maker.The acquisition was completed on April 30, 2014, when it was also announced that Beam would be renamed as Beam Suntory.
Also in January 2014, Suntory purchased the drinks division of British GlaxoSmithKline. This included the brands Lucozade and Ribena, however, the deal did not include Horlicks.
TALISKER 泰斯卡

Talisker 18 Year Old 70cl 45.8%Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
The
nose is quite clean and fresh. There is a mixed fruity sweetness with a
spicy character. The peat and smoke rise with notes of perfume and
thick oak. Hints of Calvados and a touch of acidity with ground ginger.
The palate is thick and rich and full-bodied. Notes of spicy, peppery
oak, espresso beans and wood smoke. A little allspice creeps in, there
is a certain zesty character lurking somewhere. The spice builds and
builds with utter intent. The finish is long and with peppery oak.

Talisker 30 Year Old 70cl 45.8%Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Elegant smoke blends together effortlessly with red fruits and coastal peat.
Palate: A finely-tuned balance of sweetness from plump berries and an enjoyable peppery heat. Its age shines through.

Overall: An elegant, refined and wholly exhilarating Talisker.

Talisker Storm 70cl 45.8%Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose:
Initial brine, but not as abrupt as the 10 Year Old, quite creamy by
comparison. Banana. Banana angel delight? Window putty, hint of sticking
plasters and barbecues, citrus. White pepper develops towards the
bottom of the glass.
Palate: Thick and mouth-coating with wood smoke, brine, some tin and chilli heat too.
Finish: Red chilli peppers and oak dryness with a hint of embers.
Overall: A welcome addition to the Talisker range, and probably the smokiest whisky to be produced on the Isle of Skye.

The Scotch Whisky Masters (The Spirits Business) |
The distillery was founded in 1830 by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, and built in 1831 at Carbost after a number of false starts on other sites when they acquired the lease of Talisker House from the MacLeod of MacLeod. The distillery was rebuilt 1880–87 and extended in 1900. When a new lease for the distillery was negotiated with the chief of Clan MacLeod in 1892 the annual payment was to be £23.12s and a ten-gallon cask of best-quality Talisker. It was rebuilt in 1960 after a stillhouse fire completely destroyed the distillery. The distillery operates five stills; two wash stills and three spirit stills. All the stills use worm tubs (condensing coils) rather than a modern condenser, which are believed to give the whisky a "fuller" flavour (itself an indication of higher sugar content). During this early period, the whisky was produced using a triple distilling method, but changed to the more conventional double distilling in 1928. Talisker was acquired by Distillers Company in 1925 and is now part of Diageo. After the 1960 fire, five exact replicas of the original stills were constructed to preserve the original Talisker flavour. In 1972 the stills were converted to steam heating and the maltings floor was demolished. Talisker’s water comes from springs directly above the distillery via a network of pipes and wells.
The malted barley used in production comes from Muir of Ord. Talisker has an unusual feature—swan neck lye pipes. A loop in the pipes takes the vapour from the stills to the worm tubs so some of the alcohol already condenses before it reaches the cooler. It then runs back in to the stills and is distilled again. Talisker now has an annual output of three and a half million litres of spirit.
Talisker was the favourite whisky of writers Robert Louis Stevenson and HV Mouton. In his poem "The Scotsman's Return From Abroad", Stevenson mentioned "The king o' drinks, as I conceive it, Talisker, Islay, or Glenlivet."
史凱島上唯一的蒸餾廠，1830年由休與肯尼斯‧麥卡斯吉爾兄弟創立。
1848年售予北方蘇格蘭銀行，租借給唐諾‧麥克里蘭（1963年破產）而後由約翰‧安德森（1987年破產）承接。亞歷山大‧格里戈爾 ‧艾倫 及羅德里克‧坎姆帕接手後，到了1898年，泰斯卡成為銷售單一純麥威士忌最大的蒸餾廠之一。
蒸餾廠的碼頭及小屋於1900年建立。1941-45年二次大戰期間關廠。1960年的火災燒毀了蒸餾室。
1962年重新開廠增加了使用U形扭曲的林恩臂蒸餾器，開始採用二次蒸餾。1972年停止地板發麥；蒸餾廠至今仍舊採用燃油蒸汽加熱。
1987年前以8年份裝瓶銷售，其後則改以10年份裝瓶並成為Classic Malts威士忌系列之一
