GLENMORANGIE

Glenmorangie’s 10th private edition “ALLTA”, launching on 6th March, unveiling its first whisky created using wild yeast.

Glenmorangie Allta marks the tenth anniversary of Glenmorangie’s award-winning Private Edition series, for which an intriguing, limited-edition single malt whisky has been released every year since 2009.

Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s director of distilling, whisky creation and whisky stocks, was inspired to create Glenmorangie Allta as he gathered samples of Cadboll barley from fields near the Distillery. Discovering that the barley nurtured a previously unidentified species of wild yeast, he set out to bring the two together in this innovative whisky – using the wild yeast to carry out fermentation exclusively on the local barley from which it came.

Revealing the importance of yeast to the myriad flavours found in Scotch whisky, Glenmorangie Allta’s rich and fruity character opens up compelling possibilities for the future of single malt.

A Place to Express Your Authentic Self: MHD’s participation in Tokyo Pride 2025

MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo participated in Tokyo Pride 2025, one of the largest LGBTQ+ events in Asia, which celebrated its 14th edition this year. Held during pride month, June 7th and 8th, the Pride Festival welcomed approximately 273,000 attendees over two days, each coming together to celebrate and support the rights and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. The event also saw companies, organizations, and individuals communicate their efforts toward diversity and inclusion from their respective standpoints.

This year marked a significant evolution for the event, with a name change from Tokyo Rainbow Pride to Tokyo Pride. The change reflects a broader scope, shifting the focus beyond LGBTQ+ rights to address various intersecting human rights issues, including gender, race, and disability. The central theme for the event, “Same Life, Same Rights”, delivers a strong message affirming that all lives deserve equal rights, free from discrimination and prejudice. Tokyo Pride 2025 will continue throughout pride month with a range of events, with the initiatives that aim to raise awareness of the complex challenges faces by the LGBTQ+ community and foster open dialogue around inclusion and equity.

As a platinum sponsor, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Japan proudly supported the event. On June 8th, around 250 employees from various maisons, including MHD, marched in the Pride Parade, which was filled with an atmosphere of warmth, solidarity, and celebration in the Shibuya and Harajuku areas. As part of MHD’s sustainability manifesto, "Living Soils, Living Together," our participation in Tokyo Pride represents one aspect of our ongoing commitment to “engaging with society”. This was also an opportunity to re-visualize DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) initiatives both internally and externally, and to show a commitment to supporting and walking together with the community.

MHD, together with the LVMH Group, will continue to promote DE&I initiatives and strive to ensure that our corporate efforts spark new findings and learning opportunities for each and every employee.
