Hideo Yamaoka’s Whiskey Mew website is dedicated to finding and curating fine spirits—and in many cases, that means pairing them with a vintage anime title for a special-label release! This month, it’s happening again, as the company pairs Ryosuke Takahashi’s 1983 classic Armored Trooper VOTOMS with a 2010 Fettercairn.
This whiskey is described a thick-bodied, with an aroma of nuts and dried fruit and a rich finish. This run of specially-labeled bottles will be limited to 338, with pre-orders opening on May 16. Orders will be open until the bottles are sold out.
Armored Trooper VOTOMS is licensed by Maiden Japan, who describe it thus:
The acronym stands for Vertical One-man Tanks for Offense & ManeuverS, but don’t let the “Tank” part of the name VOTOMS fool you. Lightly armored, cheaply produced and powered by an explosive fuel mixture, these one-man power-suit systems are walking deathtraps, and only a fraction of the soldiers who dare to venture into combat inside one will survive their full deployment. But even in the human flesh grinder of the 100-year-old war between Gilgamesh and Balarant, there are a handful of pilots who are just too mean and stubborn to die… pilots like Chirico Cuvie. Get ready to penetrate the enemy front lines in the most realistic Giant Robot combat series ever created, and learn why the most dangerous part of a VOTOMS is the man inside it, in this spectacular ultimate collection!
