commemorative film released in Japan in 2023. The setting is postwar Japan. In Japan, where everything has been lost and the people are trying to survive, Godzilla suddenly appears and ruthlessly destroys the city that is in the process of being rebuilt, turning it into a “minus” country. I’m going to fall into it. Is there a way for the nameless people left behind to survive and fight back? The whiskey that Hideo Yamaoka chose for the label of his popular work that became a huge hit around the world is “Glenrothes 1986”. The 1980s was a time when distilleries were suspended or closed and production was low, making whiskey from this period extremely valuable. This whiskey, aged for 37 years, has a fruity aroma with a sweet, spicy, and long finish. As you continue to drink it, you will begin to notice the rich flavor and weight that can only come from aging. The result is a masterpiece that you will want to enjoy slowly and thoroughly as you enjoy the changes. Let’s toast the 70th anniversary of Godzilla on November 3rd with Godzilla, with a cup filled with a rich aroma. “Godzilla-1.0” Label Whiskey/Glenrothes 1986 Sales price: 118,800 yen including tax Total number of books: 132. 700ml.
