TALISKER WILDER SEAS: Talisker’s answer to marine conservation

Talisker, one of MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo’s single malt whisky brands, has collaborated with the nonprofit environmental organization PARLEY FOR THE OCEANS to release a limited edition bottle TALISKER WILDER SEAS on September 22, 2023.

For nearly 200 years, the Talisker distillery has been standing proudly by the sea, embracing the elements in a land of extremes that is the inspiration for the whisky we craft.

We are on a mission to keep the seas wild, allowing marine ecosystems to thrive naturally for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

In 2020, we partnered with PARLEY FOR THE OCEANS based on our shared passion for the sea and committed to helping them protect and preserve 100 million square meters of wild sea forests.

【Protecting the ocean with the purchase of a bottle】

This Talisker x Parley limited edition helps support projects to protect and preserve sea forests off the coasts of Scotland, South Africa and Chile.

The bottles are made using 100% recycled glass and clean energy fuel, in the shape of a Talisker 10YO bottle.

Finished in French Oak XO Cognac casks as a Talisker first, this new release features notes of smooth plum and stewed raisins that capture the formidable, deep blue force of the sea with newfound depth, followed by rich fruitiness, briny sea-salt and whispers of smoke and spice.

TALISKER WILDER SEAS is the embodiment of our commitment to ocean health. For every bottle made, we will make a £3 donation to Parley to protect the seas.

The Talisker distillery, located on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, has spent many years with the sea, and so have the whiskies we produce. It is our mission to protect the richness of the sea and pass it on to the next generation.

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.
