Mythic Spirits: A Legendary Collaboration Between Gaming and Distilling Worlds

This article explores a new chapter in the collaboration between a renowned game company and a notable Japanese distillery, unveiling a whiskey collection inspired by a beloved online role-playing game.

Several years back, a partnership was established between the game company and Nagahama Distillery to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the popular online title. The project, originally launched to celebrate a major milestone of the game, has clearly resonated with the community, prompting a return with fresh offerings.

Nagahama Distillery has announced the release of two distinct whiskey varieties themed around key mythical elements from the game universe. The offerings are as follows:

• The first variant is inspired by the celestial concept Divine Light Hydaelin, produced in the United Kingdom using a blend of grain and malt.
• The second option draws from the enigmatic Eternal Darkness Zodiark; this version is crafted solely from malt as a cooperative production between Japan and the United Kingdom.

While these limited-edition products might prove hard to obtain in Western markets, they will be available in Japan at a price of 8,000 yen (around £42/€50) when they hit the shelves on May 13.
