Adoration – The history and what to do during the time.
About our drink:
Yamato was created by Aiko Importers after contacting one of the largest distilleries in the Yamanshi Prefecture and learning of excess barrels of Japanese Whisky that had not been assigned to a market and could be acquired. Aiko, under Japanses authority, was able to contract for this whisky, and developed the Yamato label to be bottled exclusively as a Small Batch Japanese Whisky. This whisky is a blend of malted barley Scotch whisky and selected Japanese grain that was grown in the Yamanashi Prefecture. The cold winters and fiery summers gives a rich flavour quality to the grain. The unique geographical location allows the whisky an intense maturation period, thereby losing a considerable amount as the “angel’s share”. To maintain the products natural character it is non-chill filtered. It is a blend of 3-8 year old whiskies aged in Mizunara Oak barrels.
Official Nose: Distinctly confident liquorice-bourbon notes with near perfect bitter-sweet balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound.
Official Taste: Outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is big bourbon influences with all the associated liquorice and molasses sugar. The barley adds an extra dimension.
Official Finish: Long, wonderfully layered oak, offering variations on the sweet/dry theme, with some creamed toffee at the death.
About our gear:
- Candle by the Hour draws it’s inspiration from the historical courting candle, which was popular among families in the 16th-18th centuries. Courting candles traditionally used during the courtship of a young woman by a suitor, where the suitor would know that it was time to say his goodbyes after the candle had burned down to the metal clip or base. Candle by the Hour provides a unique glimpse into the culture of past generations while providing a warm light in the contemporary home!
About our topic:
Fermentum – goes back as early as 120 AD. The rite of fermentum was a particle of Eucharistic bread transported from the bishop of one diocese to the bishop of another diocese. The latter would then consume the species at his next solemn Mass as a token of unity between the churches. It wasn’t viewed as a symbol but as a reality.
