HOTEI BEAT EMOTION WORLD MALT GRACE

Last year (2020) marked the 40th anniversary of his career as an artist, and having just turned 60, guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei has reached a milestone that truly qualifies him as a mature artist, but he has not stopped his career, continuing to work energetically while traveling back and forth between Japan and the UK.
This time, two authentic original whiskeys will be released, which Tomoyasu Hotei has been working on behind the scenes at Nagahama Distillery, with great attention to detail, while also working on his busy musical career.
The main title shared by all of 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 Paralympic Games.
Additionally, his guitar playing, whether acoustic or ballads, combines a sense of floating and transparency as it comes out of his fingertips.
It is a moment when the tolerance and kindness of a man who has always been at the front line is occasionally revealed.
This BEATEMOTION-GRACE- is a whiskey that is made by repeatedly blending Nagahama Distillery's unique red wine barrel-aged malt whiskey, and delicately expresses the elegance that is one of Tomoyasu Hotei's defining characteristics.
Enjoy the deep crimson color, gorgeous aroma, and sweet taste.
