Fiorenzo Detti, uno dei massimi esperti di distillati e non solo, ci ha guidato in un percorso di conoscenza, approfondimento e degustazione sul mondo dei whisky (o whiskey), analizzando le zone principali di questa Uisce beatha (“acqua della vita”): l'Irlanda e la Scozia (illustrati nella Parte 1); poi il Nuovo Mondo dell'Ovest con USA e Canada e dell'Est con il Giappone, Taiwan e l'India, per poi rientrare in Europa con Belgio e Italia (illustrati nella Parte 2).

Apogee & Perigee

The toy robots shown above are based on a series of Japanese whiskey commercials from about 1983-1984. The closest comparison I can think of is like Spuds MacKenzie in the US.

The toys above are remote control (R/C, top picture) and simple wind-up (W/U, bottom picture). They have poseable arms and heads. The RC pair was 3500 yen, the wind-up pair 580 yen (MSRP in 1984). These toys (and others) were made by Bandai in Japan and Hong Kong, and also exported to the US.

The robots are named Apogee (the taller one, who is male) and Perigee (the shorter one, who is female).

These robots are (as best as I can determine) from a series of TV commercials made by Tohokushinsha Film Corp (株式会社東北新社), for Nikka 'Mild' Whiskey (ニッカウヰスキー株式会社) [then and now owned by Asahi]. The toy packaging bears a licensing sticker from Tohokushinsha. Sometimes the pair are called "Mild Robo" or "Mild Boy" and "Mild Girl" on the packaging.

I can't tell if the original commercials used practical RC robots, live action puppets or miniatures, or stop-motion miniatures, but I do know that a functional (RC), 'life size' pair of robots were shown at at least one Japanese toy fair in 1984.

In the western import packaging (completely different from the Japanese packaging), Bandai re-branded the robots as "Lov-Bo-Gi-Bots," sometimes shortened to "Lov-Bots." Each individual toy robot was also renamed, loosely reflecting it's main play feature. The toys were also packed with a mini story book explaining their fictive origin, and with a mail-in offer for an undescribed 'surprise.'

I'm impressed by how adorable these robots are in their original form, and how much effort Bandai put into rebranding them for the western market.

Still pretty full from lunch but I felt like a little #nikkawhisky tonight, the 12 year old #miyagikyo is just such a great #instdram and the #yoichi apple brandy finish is just a fun NAS #whisky. If you can find it at retail definitely grab one and drink it. #singlemalt #japanesewhisky #singlemaltwhisky @nikkawhisky_hk @nikkawhiskyusa @nikkawhiskyeu @nikkawhiskytw . . . . #rolexwhisky #whiskygeek #whiskytasting #whiskytime #whiskylover #whiskyblogger #whiskywayoflife #japanesewhiskyporn #japanesewhiskylover #sandiego #nikkawhiskyjapan #nikkawhiskyyoichidistillery (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COooEwADwHu/?igshid=1665jb538h0y9

Hot whisky time everyone? I bought this glass for having a hot whisky. This reproduction Tumbler is a reissue of a had pressed glass design made by @hirotaglass founded in 1899. The factory is still based in Tokyo. It’s not expensive glass at all like other crystal glasses. I bought this less than 10 euro. This glass has an original beauty of Japanese craftsmanship. I think it’s beautiful. This is the first picture for the post by #sigmafp it’s a good combination with Japanese craftsmanship I suppose. #sigma #45mmf28 @sigma_japan @sigmaglobalvision #japanesecraftsmanship #nikkawhisky #75%darkchocolate https://www.instagram.com/p/CKI4qcQM5Kg/?igshid=1lz5jlnzmeirl

飲む気のないお酒の整理というかパラフィルム巻きをしているのですが、いつ買ったかいまいち思い出せない結構レアなのが出てきました。 ぱっと見、#スーパーニッカ とすぐに分かりますが、これ2代目スーパーニッカです。 発売時期は1970年11月からで3代目が1973年と言うことですので僅か4年間のみの生産品。 製造ロットから年代を特定すると1971年2月16日瓶詰めという事でもうすぐ50年経つようです。 1番の特徴は肩パッドのような肩の盛り上がり。 これはこの当時でしか使われていないデザインなので、何かのきっかけで見つけたら記念に取っておいた方がいいですよ😄 ところで、これどうやっ手に入れたんだろ😂 #ニッカウイスキー #余市 #宮城峡 #ニッカ #ウイスキー #ジャパニーズウイスキー #nikka #nikkawhisky #yoichi #miyagikyo #japanesewhisky https://www.instagram.com/p/CLGz5vlLFL_/?igshid=xi0fnqvpst9d
