Ardbeg Cask No. 3, the oldest and only 1975 cask released by the ultimate Islay malt Ardbeg, has been sold to a private collector in Asia for 16 million pounds (about 2.6 billion Japanese yen). This sale is the highest price ever paid for a whisky cask. Ardbeg Cask No. 3 is the one and only 1975 cask that survived the two closures of the Ardbeg distillery. With few single malts made in the 1970s and the closure of the Ardbeg Distillery in the 1980s and 1990s, it became the oldest and most valuable cask released by Ardbeg. From now on, we will offer a unique Ardbeg collection that will be bottling for owners over 5 years (a constant bottle each year) and will not be reproducible for at least 10 years.

Since its founding in 1843, Glenmorangie has used the tallest distiller in Scotland, which stands at 5.14 meters, about the same height as an adult giraffe. The tall pot stills allow the distiller to extract the delicate and floral aromas of the original spirit, which is one of the key characteristics of the Glenmorangie flavor. Glenmorangie has always represented the giraffe as a symbol of the brand, and has worked in partnership with the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation to support giraffe conservation efforts.

◆Tasting Note:

CHANDON Chant des Cigales is an organic sparkling wine made with certified organic grapes grown in Southern France’s Côtes de Provence Region.​

Chandon’s very first organic sparkling wine was crafted by Audrey Bourgeois, CHANDON’s head of winemaking innovation and technical co-ordination, under the mentorship of Richard Geoffroy, an ex-chef de caves at Dom Pérignon and Eric Lebel, a chef de caves at Krug.

A blend of eight emblematic grape varieties adds a bracing minerality along with further floral aromas and elevating the wine into a heady new aromatic dimension. It has the presence and balance of a still wine, with the texture of a sparkling wine.​

Adding an ice cube gives you a new taste experience as well. ​

Considering environmental issues, we have succeeded in making the bottle weight 30% lighter than a regular sparkling wine bottle. ​

For Chant des Cigales, we trialed both the traditional and the Charmet methods. Preserving the wine’s primary fruit character and freshness, rather than weighing it down with secondary autolytic flavors, was vitally important.​

CHANDON CHANT DES CIGALES SPECIAL SITE：

https://www.mhdkk.com/brands/chandon/special/chantdescigales/

【How to enjoy CHANDON Chant des Cigales】​

Taste CHANDON Chant des Cigales chilled to 10˚C, and you’ll experience a persistent yet subtle effervescence that tickles and excites the palate. Note the moderate acidity and the primary fruit aromas, aromatic and complex.

Then try adding one ice cube, and prepare to be astonished. The effervescence is revived. The flavor profile shifts subtly, releasing a bracing minerality along with further floral aromas and elevating the wine into a heady new aromatic dimension.​

Ice is usually suggested only for sweet wines, the ripe fruitiness and aromatic complexity of Chant des Cigales make ice its fresh, surprising ally. That’s why adding an ice cube is positively encouraged. And it’s another reason why CHANDON Chant des Cigales is a new taste experience.​

＜ CHANDON Chant des Cigales ＞

◇ ABV: 12.5%​

◇ Capacity: 750ml​

◇ Price: 3,550 Yen (tax excluded)​

◇ A blend of eight emblematic grape varieties – Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Rolle, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Tibouren​

◇ Brut nature: 3g/L residual sugar. No addition of sugar after the second fermentation​

◆ Tasting Note:​

There are ethereal floral notes of rose, peony and white flowers, followed by a characteristic Southern salinity and a hint of lycorice.​

It’s a delicious paradox – a fresh, fruity fizz with enough interest and complexity. It has the presence and balance of a still wine, with the texture of a sparkling wine.​
