HOTEI BEAT EMOTION WORLD MALT GRACE

Last year (2020), guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei celebrated his 40th anniversary as an artist and turned 60, a milestone that truly qualifies him as mature. However, he has not stopped his career and continues to work energetically, traveling back and forth between Japan and the UK.
This time, Tomoyasu Hotei will be releasing two authentic original whiskies that he has been working on behind the scenes with Nagahama Distillery, with meticulous attention to detail, while also working on his busy musical career.
The main title shared by all these commemorative whiskies is the important keyword "BEATEMOTION," which is the title of the landmark album by the legendary rock band "BOØWY," of which Tomoyasu Hotei was a member, and is also the title of the first song to reach number one on the charts after he began his solo career.
It symbolizes the playing and life of Tomoyasu Hotei, a guitarist who continues to challenge himself without stopping, even as he has achieved maturity and depth.

For example, the emotional, deep long tones he performed at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.
Additionally, his guitar playing, when playing acoustic or ballads, combines a floating feeling with a sense of transparency, coming from his fingertips.
It is a moment when the tolerance and kindness of a man who has always been at the forefront is occasionally revealed.
BEATEMOTION-GRACE- is a whiskey that has been blended multiple times, primarily using Nagahama Distillery's unique red wine barrel-aged malt whiskey, to delicately express the elegance that is one of Tomoyasu Hotei's defining characteristics.
Enjoy the deep red color, gorgeous fragrance, and sweet taste.
