It's Beaujolais Nouveau Time! We have a wide selection of bottles to choose from at Liquor Burn Gion in Kyoto. The word from France is that this years Beaujolais Nouveau is so good that it's a once-in-50-year bottling!

For those who are unfamiliar with this French tradition let us give you the basics. Beaujolais is a wine region in France that celebrates the end of the harvest by drinking the new wine made from this year's grapes. Normally wine is aged but these bottles are enjoyed right away in order to celebrate. This wine has fresh young flavor that is just plain fun to drink. No need to worry about complexity or sophistication. Just enjoy! This wine is fruity and has flavors and aromas such as grape, strawberry, fig, pears, and banana.

"Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé!"

Dear Whisky Lovers,

Our next whisky spotlight has arrived and it's a very special blended Scotch whisky. Chivas Regal MIZUNARA Special Edition is a Scotch whisky inspired by Japan. It was created by Master Blender Colin Scott with the Japanese palate in mind. Part of the blend is aged in Japanese Mizunara casks. Mizunara is Japanese oak and it's used to age Japanese whisky such as Suntory's Yamazaki Single Malt. This is the first time a Scotch whisky has aged in Japanese wood! It's East meets West in a bottle. Purchase this delicious and unique whisky today!

Released: October 1st, 2014
ABV: 40%
Vintage: All whiskies used in the blend are 12 years or older

This whisky is a must for any collection. We hope to see more collaboration and inspiration between whisky makers from around the world.
