The other whiskeys in the blend will be a Hakushu malt and a Chita grain, both from 1990, when the Stones made their first trip to Japan. A 1972 Yamazaki malt has been chosen as the year that “Exile on Main St.” was released (the album is significant to Suntory because it includes “Rocks Off,” a song used in its commercials). A 1962 Yamazaki represents the year the band was formed, while a 1971 pays tribute to the introduction of the tongue and lips logo. ![]() The contents of the limited-edition release will reflect the band's 50-year history, combining whiskeys from different decades. Suntory is planning a retail price of 500,000 yen ($6,300) for each 700-ml crystal bottle. Like tickets to the Stones' concerts, the whiskey will not come cheap. Suntory will produce just 150 of the special Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary bottles, modeled on the band's distinctive tongue and lips logo. Today, its subsidiaries include Scotland's oldest distillery, Bowmore on the island of Islay, as well as Auchentoshan and Glen Garioch. It will be made by Suntory, which began producing whiskey in the Yamazaki district of Kyoto in 1923. © AFP/Suntory | Mick Jagger live in Tokyo the limited-edition bottle Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood at the Somerset House exhibition openingĪ leading Japanese distilling company is to release a limited-edition Rolling Stones whiskey to mark the half-century since the band's first public performance. ![]()
