Notice on the Safety of “Talisker 10 Year Old Flask Pack”

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and patronage.

As announced on July 4, 2020, it has come to our attention that when Talisker is poured into the stainless steel flask accompanying our product “Talisker 10 Year Old Flask Pack” (the “Product”), the Talisker may turn darker after a certain period of time, and we have been voluntary recalling the Product.

Based on the results of quality tests of the discolored Product by third-party inspection organizations, we hereby notify you that the cause may be the involvement of certain metal components; provided however that, the detected amounts (per 1 L) of such metal components meet either:

(i) the “standards for foods, additives etc.” established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare; or

(ii) the maximum tolerable amount per day under the “Japanese Dietary Intake Standards (2020 version)” established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

Though the Product meets the above mentioned standard criteria, it has been re-confirmed that the Talisker may turn darker after a certain period of time, we will continue to recall the Product.

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.
