Limited edition single malt whiskeys with the "Cats' Eye" and "City Hunter" labels, which celebrate the 40th anniversary of the serialization, are now on sale! From 12:00 noon on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, sales will begin by lottery on the whiskey specialty site “WHISKY MEW.”
The whiskey that wears the sexy label of "Cat's Eye" is "Glenfarclas 2010". Glenfarclas Distillery is located in the Speyside region of Scotland, and is a distillery that specializes in direct-fired distillation and aging in Oloroso sherry casks.
This whiskey is a single cask matured in a 1st fill sherry barrel distilled in 2010. Full of sweetness from sherry barrels and plump fruitiness. Whiskey critic Hideo Yamaoka commented, ``The moderate woodiness and fruitiness are well-balanced, and you won't get tired of drinking it.''
The whiskey chosen by Hideo Yamaoka for the second edition of ``City Hunter'' is ``Glenfarclas 2011,'' which was distilled one year after ``Cat's Eye.'' This is also a single cask aged in 1st fill sherry barrels. Hideo Yamaoka says, ``It's so dark in color and so strong in flavor that you can't believe it's been aged for less than 10 years.''
Why not spend some quality adult time by looking at the labels or comparing the tastes of whiskeys from one year apart? Tonight, will the target written on Hitomi's cat card be your whiskey drinking heart? ?
